Oh it's epic when you get to remove it legally.

I too had a trimmed N and no cops ever harassed me.

85$ fine for not having one displayed. i think it's kept alot more yahoos off the road. which is good for all of our insurance rates.

Diamond on the skid looks clean. The hitch could do without, but that's just my opinion.

Man I feel sorry for yall! Having to put the "N" on and such. That would drive me up the wall. I can see it being useful to other drivers on the road, but sheesh. I would have written a word on the back window to incorporate the N. You know, try to find a place that would make the same kind of colored reflective letters to put around it. Like so: 4RU(N)NER

The diamond plate would look sooo much better powder coated black. Even black paint would be okay. But if that's the look you were going for, it looks pretty good.

But a Z is soo much cooler.

You stick it on, forget about it, some little piece of crap steals it, you get pull over, you buy a new one, stick it on, go 4 wheeling, get a little mud on it problem solved... if you never wash your truck.

Yeah, thats why I put mine inside the window. The factory tint hides it, if the cops complain. I just tell them I got tired of the little dinks that keep stealing them.. even though they are free..

Its true!

whats the point of stealing something thats free? Especially something that displays your inexperience? What are they going to do with it? Put it on their vehicle so that can brag about being an inexperienced driver? Put two on their vehicle to seem cool?.....weeeiiirrrd kids these days.

Yeah, no kidding! Go down to the insurance office and you can get free replacments, no questions asked..

Apperantly they stick them in their lockers or something.. all the "cool" kids do it... Or they just do it to mess with people..

When I was little, we used to steal them of the back of cars and see if we could stick them on buses, random expensive cars, or even cop cars (that took brass balls).

yup im glad to be done with the N's and L's. I even took driver training lessons to be done quicker. I left that N magnet on my truck for 2 years and it wouldnt come off after, it would just rip apart and left all kinds of black chunks on that took a long time to get off.

I saw more in Texas than anywhere in Canada, but oddly, just as many in Washington, which is worse, as they have annoying accents too that makes them all sound like they have permanent sinus infections.
