I have considered that. Any problems with cooling then?

I personally like the offset plate. We have to have one here in Ohio as well. Depending on the stealth plate you are considering...be sure to verify fitment. Some do not work on the GS due to the splitter/low ground clearance.

Happy Wife, Happy Life. From the look of that car regular flowers and and Dinner Out would be in order

This would be a good for the other her too OK, guess I'm a bit of a romantic. Mine picked out the red, I agreed, a no brainer.
