Just added a chrome front License Plate holder to the front bumper....up here in canada you need a front plate as well as the rear.

For me it matches in nicely...will get you all some pics as soon as I can

Also Looking at painting the raised lettering in the engine compartment for the 3.7 engine call out....I know pictures

:worthless:

:Na_Na_Na_Na:

anyways I was just looking at frames for mine b/c my plastic dealer ones arent going to cut it...We have to have front and rear plates here in texas too..

Try to hold off, you don't need front plates in FL, hate to see you poke holes in your bumper for no reason!

Im not permanently staying in Florida so Ill keep my Texas tags..plus the Nitro already has front mounts...atleast the ones that get shipped to Texas do..

Add on

I took off the dealer plastic frame too. I didn't really count that as an add on however it really is. Mine is chrome with a clear plate cover.......And it matches the rear lift gate handle. I'll post a pic but it wasn't taken for this reason however it works. Don't guess I'll post a pic right now....I have exceeded my quota. I'll work on that.

I know it was a useless post but just needed to tell you all....:shy: And the wife didnt give me time to get the pic uploaded:shakehead:

So here is a shot of it I know it is not much here but it does look great in real life

Here is my next small mod

:Na_Na_Na_Na: back to Nitrowill I hope this makes up for the first post LOL

Looks good...why that color on the engine though? Would look nicer as white or chrome!

I wanted chrome but dont have the time so I tried the red/orange colour I already had. It is not real permanent yet...needs a clear coat so I can still change. Also where I work we do heat transfer chrome work and I want to try that but I need to make a nest or pad to match the lettering. Will keep trying and see how it goes.

Oh..thats not photoshopped - its actually done? Howd you do it? Chrome would look muuuch better..

And I found a neat license plate frame:

No I actually painted by hand using Dupli-Color touch up paint and it is Fire Red Chrysler color and I now have two coats. I needs some cleaning up on the edges but here is another picture. As with any shot it does look better in natural light

As for the Chrome idea I would need to sand the grain off the letters and make it a smooth surface to get proper adhesion. The material I would use is like a foil that you would iron/heat on to the letters. You also need pressure to bond the foil properly which would mean likely removing the air breather (?) from the engine and putting it in a press of sorts to get it right.

This way I figured I could try the red letters and if I want I can still go to the chrome Idea. I alo have foil that has adhesive on it but I dont think it will suit the engine compartment due to the heat and oil contaminants

Looks better in that picture..might look good with a solid white border too...The foil adhesive probably wouldnt work - it gets pretty hot in there..Whered you get your touch up paint from? If i do anything id probabl paint mine white to match my exterior
