I have to see if I can get a pair of mine opened up to fit my D80 before I get excited about putting them on.

Thanks Mike.

Today I re-registered the old truck. It hasn't been re-registered since I first plated it in June of '12. That hurt a little. Luckily they had no problem giving me new plates as I lost the originals in the parts mess some where.
