Do you take your front tag off for shoots or do you not have one?

So are we, I've been caught without the front plate though, so I run the front plates now.

Anyhow, great pictures! Looks as sharp as ever!

So clean. I love how the GXP rims and exhaust look on it. Cleaned corners look so much better on a black car.
