2 Mods $2. Plus one other mod > $2

So I have been wanting to get rid of the RC looking antenna for a long time now. I also have been looking for ways to fill in the license plate holes in my front bumper. Well and hour of searching at Home Depot for a grand total of $2.05 has solved both those problems.

Front Bumper Before


Front Bumper After



And here is my new stubby antenna.



Here is the other mod that ran me $40. I got my tailights vinyl wrapped.



For anyone interested here are the parts for the antenna from Home Depot


The front plugs for the bumper are found right by the antenna screws and are 1/2 inch plastic plugs. I painted them to match the car.

Let me know what you think.

About the Utah Evos sticker. That is the local Mitsubishi club sticker. Not just for Evo's. We even have STI's and and BMW that rocks one.
