Got the springs on. Originally from a '96 GT. Cut 2/3 off front coils, rears are stock.
The ride is very similar to stock. Handles great!

Looks great!
Now get rid of that big ugly license plane holder and screw the plate on the bumper where there is a plate indent under the holder.
Use a plate frame to finish off the plate.
Looks way cleaner then that holder and lets you see the "point" of the bumper!
(I added a black metal frame around my plate)

Sure is!!! There is an indent on the bumper (plate sized)that all you need to do is drill the holes and run the screws,,,
It is just below and behind the stock plate mount.
I found this out by accident. I pushed on the stock bracket and it fell off. Thats when I saw that indent!!!
The stock bracket is held on by just 4 plastic
pins,,,(replaceable)
