Some Pictures of my ZHP

[L0veZHP]

Some picture of my ZHP since I never show it off to you guys
I changed my plates recently and got my front windows tinted for the car so some pictures have it while others don't.

I got inspired to show it to you guys tonight after I took this picture,

all pictures were taken with an iPhone 5.. none are professional sorry about that.
I use "Camera+" app for filters and enhanced effects

This picture was taken a long time ago on my old block. Stock height and Stock rims here fyi. But none the less its still one of my favorite pictures of my car.

22733
This picture was taken in Maryland at H2Oi. its bad quality but its still a nice picture to me!

22734
A picture with the Tints 20% fronts

When I changed the plates! Looks really nice to me! something different

VMR 18in Staggered FRESH! KW drop.. Going to fit some 10mm spacers soon! had my fenders trimmed. If your in NY, NJ, CT, or PA let me know I have a nice guy that will trim your fenders and do a great job!

22738
This was also at H2Oi. I like the way the back was sitting, so I just wanted to post it.

22739
My trunk, I stripped stuff but still have my spar and jack because my car is still my daily driver. I have a matte black rear strut bar there now, so it looks quite sporty.

Parked my car at store just to see another hot car park next to it when I arrive back, pretty cool.

22742
Nice picture at my friends house with my Angel Eyes! the car was off so no HID lights but they match the Angel Eyes

22743
Friends bike! 2009 Ninja 650rr, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. At least I got the chance to drive it! Very fun! thinking about getting a nice cbr 600

And that's it for now.. I did buy OEM M3 Mirrors and will probably get them installed next year since the winter is coming! I also have OEM BMW Club Splitters but since my car is a daily and already kinda low, I feel they will just be ripped off! So I'm not going to install them now.. Next year I plan on buying some BBS 19in CH Wheels, I'll probably add the splitters then!

Thanks guys! Just wanted to share my love for my car! I know you guys know the feeling!

P.S: I need to update my phone lol get a 6s for that better camera!

I'll take some interior shots one day to show you guys! its really nice in there

Car looks good, man ! Reminds me to apply some TLC to my exterior black trim.

I feel sorry for those of you living in mandatory front plate jurisdictions.

[TheFinanceGuy]

Car looks fantastic! My ZHP came from long island.

I'll pay 100 no front plate tickets before I rock a front plate in NY!

BTW OP, car looks excellent!!

[NoVAphotog]

Car looks great man! Thanks for sharing!

Tow hook mount man...sporty and looks a hell of a lot better than the buck tooth!

I agree. If you're not a scofflaw, then I see this as the best option.

As far as the car goes, HOT! HOT! HOT! :drool

Man, Imola is such a beautiful color. I'm going to give mine a hug tonight before i go to bed.

I had the same mindset but then after a couple of tickets, it was just getting silly paying for it. Just money down the drain.

So tow-hook option is the best way to go.

Indeed. Especially with a plate mounted like this one - sorry guys, but 99.9% of these front plate "solutions" just look like A$$. The Europeans don't seem to have a problem slapping a huge front plate on their cars, and where necessary here, it should just be center-mounted on the proper mount and call it a day, IMHO. To have it sticking out awkwardly on one side just looks slapped on.

Or just move to Arizona and enjoy a front plateless existence and ultra-dark tint (the latter not technically legal, but they never bust ANYONE for it here due to the desert heat).

Car looks fantastic otherwise though.. that paint luster is fabulous.

The Euro plates are different and more slim since they are just long. So they sit above the center opening of the bumper and look alot better.

With the US plate, it sits in the center and makes the front of the car look like it has buck teeth. I personally do not mind the offset plate especially if it is mounted as close to the bumper as possible. Better then paying fines everytime for a no-front plate ticket. Rather spend that money on other things for the car.

i like the ingenuity of the tow hook bracket, but i don't like the asymmetry... it looks like a giant booger hanging out of the car's nose.

here in ontario we have to run a front plate. it sucks, but while i do prefer the look without a front plate, i'm not gonna deal with getting a ticket "because it looks cooler."

[johnrando]

Good looking car. We have to have front plates in CA (not worth the major ticket and fees), so I love the offset plate. You can see mine in my sig (not the best shot to see it as that would obviously be straight on). On yours that bright orange plate on a red car does clash a little but nothing you can do about that. Not to self, need to update my sig pic. :)

[SwiftyM3]

Maybe it's different for me living in a suburban area vs big city. I've ran no front plate on probably 10 different cars for the last 13 years or so. I got 1 no front plate ticket (he let me off 90 in a 65 with just a front plate ticket instead). It was a ~$125 potential fine.

Not sure how much it is other places, it's so easy to "fix" or explain. I went to court and said that I had just got the car recently and the bolt holes had rusted out and I didn't want to lose the plate because it was loose. Got dismissed because I brought a picture of the car with a front plate on it (used 3M tape for the pic and then removed it again)

Must be other important shit going on in NY or lazy cops, or maybe I don't drive like a dipshit. Who knows. Point is, always worth not running it for me looks wise.

[1 M Mike]

Little known fact that not running a front plate is how Dillinger started out (discounting the dozens of other "petty" felonies he committed previously as a juvie). ;)

And we all know where he progressed from there and how well that went down. :guns

Like KC in AZ I'm glad we're blessed to require only one plate here in IN.

i got pulled over only a few days after i bought my ZHP, for having no front plate (it was from another province, where a front plate is not required); i hadn't even had time to order the front plate bracket yet!

and i live in the sticks...

[iya_e46]

I run no plates in the Woodland hills area on weekends, working in Van Nuys during weekdays is another story.. nice car OP! are those OEM tails?

[NYRhockey]

Pretty sure CT requires a front plate but it's been almost 10yrs since i used one and never had an issue.

[az3579]

You'll never get stopped for it unless they catch you for something else. Then they'll tack it on.
Avoid DUI checkpoints; easy place to get caught for no front plate. A DUI checkpoint is the reason I have a front plate now. :(

Yes, CT does require. Cite: CGS 14-18(a)(2). Though, I have never heard of a CT driver (with CT reg) stopped or cited in CT for failure to display two plates. Any time I have heard or been witness to a stop for such an infraction has been out of state. Weird.

haha, bummer. And i'm good re: DUI check points. Got a 3yo and a 2mth old at home, so by the time checkpoints are set up i'm already in bed :)

I got stopped in the middle of the day. lol
Noon, or so... it was Labor Day weekend.

Lame revenue generators. You'd think they would give you a high five for not being shitface drunk and let you on your way.

was it on sunday? 'cause you can't buy alcohol in CT on sundays. that would've been funny.

Don't remember what day it was.

[Karl Lazlo]

Because you were drunk!

[L0veZHP]

Thanks guys! About the front plate, I've seen people with those "Hide Away" front plates. I've thought about getting that so when I'm driving I can hide it and when I park I can show it. But I still think they'll give you a ticket. They cost around $50 a manual one and a electronic one cost around $300. I'll probably get a manual one to not deal with anything breaking electronically and I don't want something else added to my set of keys. Any thought on these??

My tail lights are from Khontaly but I do plan on buying OEM ones for a better fit. And so I can just have everything OEM

oh ok that's why I thought it looked different from that rear shot. Turner motorsport has a set that I believe is the cheapest oem for sale online.

[330i Lover]

Beautiful ride! I'm jelly of your headlights and black kidneys. Eventually I'll have them as well. Looks killer!
