thank you sir.. it's never done. gotta keep it fresh..

- need to matte black wrap the rest of the chrome pieces
- paint the rear emblems
- think about a lip kit or maybe just a front lip
- possibly small wing or roof wing
- paint headlight housing blk/white

etc.

Thanks for posting the clip. Not surprisingly, based upon the stock components that you eliminated, it's lot louder than my system. Mine is/was probably half way between yours and a stocker, if that loud. I need to post mine up for sale since the tips don't really fit a '04+ properly and I'll probably just stick with stock on my '05....

EDIT: Now that I hear the in-cabin video of yours in post #177, i'd say it's MUCH louder than my system. Sounds healthy! LOL

I'll post a drive-by later this week. Keep in mind that this was without any load.. the tone changes completely when going through the gears. stay tuned.
