No there are just two holes, the car came from Ohio where it had to have to have a front plate. I know the headlights need attention, but they are all nasty on the inside, I already polished the outside. They just aren't bad enough yet for me to crack them open. From what I have read, you have to remove the bumper to pull the lights, and they are easy to break the tabs off of.
most of the time you can sand them, mine looked like it was the inside but i sanded them and it came off

I already sanded them, made it better than it was, but as you can tell, it didn't clear them up. I think the previous owner opened them and tried to clean them but made a mess of it. They don't fog up or anything, they're just dirty on the inside of the lens.
Well, my 'lude finally got a bath today. She still cleans up nice.

It's the reason my car is yellow every morning .
I decided to make myself a custom wooden shift knob. This one is made of Maccassar Ebony and is roughly the same size
and shape as the skunk2 knob.
If anybody wants one of these shoot me a PM
and make me an offer. I can make them whatever shape
you desire and out of any wood you want.
If I get any interest I'll start another thread on them.
Yes, I still need to remove the old square plastic piece from the shift boot, but it was either wash the car or pull the center console tonight.
It's on my to-do list.
This summer I will be getting both bumpers resprayed, possibly add a lip kit, and sand my headlights for the 3rd time. Damn yellow lights...
After you sand the headlights, spray with a clear coat. They'll stay clear alot longer.

not a fan of the rims but other than that very clean lude, looking good
The rims came with the car when I bought, and honestly they wouldn't have been my first choice either, but I think they look way better than the SH stockers I have in the garage right now. I'm probably going to sell them once I wear the tires out or if I find some nice used black 17's for sale locally.

Yeah, I couldn't do that before because I never took the lights off the car. Since I am going to have the bumper off for painting anyway, I will pull the lights this time and spray them after sanding/polishing....hopefully for the last time.
^I'm getting the bumpers repainted because the last owner of the car apparently liked to drive into things. I will just have the body shop fill in the license plate holes then. It will look much better than having 4 bumper plugs in it anyways.
How safe is it to repaint body parts on a black car when it comes to matching pain? If your turns out well, I may do that to my front bumper.
You can't clear-coat them with them in the car? I have heard of other people coating them with something when they are still in their cars--you think they are referring to something other than a clear-coat?
I do my best to keep her clean, but that damn tree makes it impossible. The day after I took those pictures, BAM, yellow car. I hate that tree.
I had a fairly long conversion with a painter (actually, he's a hot rod builder that happens to do paint work in his downtime) and he convinced me he could get the color to match. I've seen some of this guy's work and he knows his sh!t...so I will trust him to make it match. I would never even attempt to do painting like that myself.
I suppose I could have cleared the headlights while they were still on the car, but I would've probably just made a big mess. Overspray, even if it's clear, would still show, especially on a black car.
