Hey ho,
My dakota list newbie situation is already showing up. whats an FABM? I
dont think Ive got one on any of my other cars. Hmmmm. One thing that
kinda irked me on m Dakota is the nasty front license plate holder that is
screwed into my beautiful color matched lower valance with self tapping
screws. Once it is removed, the screw holes were extruded out and ugly. Im
going to clean it up and fill the holes. Is there an alternate front
license plate holder set-up that anyone has found/designed? In CA weve got
to have em...
