Hear this

Today I went to G5 to do maintenance on the Fit. Boost leak from the BOV. Fixed that.
While fixing the bov flange, Dave talked about a local K20 swapped Fit. I couldn't believe it. He said there is an actual K20 swapped Fit that was at Garage 5 a few weeks ago. The K20 Fit lives in Nanaimo, and the swap was done by a shop there.

Damn .... so there IS a k20 swapped Fit in BC O_________O

here is an example:


this is great for people who dont roll with their front license plate. ie. me

isn't that still illegal?
cuz let's say you get pulled over for speeding or something, the cop checks your car and he'll see that you your license plate isn't "BOLTED" onto your front bumper...

if what i said isn't true, and stickers are fine, then count me in!

It is legal to have a licence plate that is a sticker. I know lots of ppl with them. They can even be ordered by ICBC. Nothing wrong with them at all.
