I own a Knight Rider vanity plate

I was so excited, i did something stupid.

This is kind of cart before the horse, but I ordered KNIGHTE from the Santa Monica DMV, it was the only decent combination left. KNI6HT is actually illegal in California, and so, was actually available, but i thought not to apply for it as it may just be rejected and that would cost me 50 (albeit refundable) dollars.


If i can get a blue plate to go along with this it would be pretty amazing but i don't know that you can get them nowadays. Apparently now i just need to way 8-12 weeks to get it delivered as it is above (which is why i ordered so early) :-)

Donor Car Acquired

Well, in my quest to build my knight rider car. Step 1 was to buy a donor car that could be used as a starting point. I have found that car.

I've purchased a 1985 Pontiac Trans Am from Spokane Washington and i'm having it shipped here!

Its in fact an ideal donor car. 1982 Trans Ams are extremely difficult to come by with the correct interior, but respraying a car black is also very expensive. I decided to go with an already black car, so that i would not have to worry about that straight off of the bat.

It already has some knight rider features, although the front scanner is not really authentic.

It has 

14" Turbocasts with Caps
Tail Light Blackout (Screw on)
Black Exterior
Bulge Hood
Correct Spoiler

So i am off to a good start :-)
