Mo,
Its prolly just the camera angle. The rear end was still on jack stands when I took that pic. Thanks for the complements.

are the exhaust tips just "bolt-on's"? Are they larger than stock, and where do I get them?

Great Job and GREAT install.
I do have a few q's if you do not mind.

Where did you order the kit? I was told It is not available yet.

Was it required to remove the rear bumper or was this the "Male ****" approch to doing it right?

Did you have to change the tips and did you have to lower the mufflers to fit the new rear?


NICE Ride!
I cannot wait for Valentines Day.................

Congrats, now your car looks like no-body else's, first one I have seen. The only thing I don't like is the rear tends to make it look even more boxy something I wouldn't want, of course that is just a personal opinion, I'm sure I'm in the minority on that. Nice job though, I like the front and sides.

They do look the same, but the accessory is just a little wider. I know cause both of us are bruising our ankles getting in and out of the car now

Xanadu, from that angle it definitely is more boxy. When you look at the car as a whole, it does look quite nice. Will get some daytime shots as soon as I can.

Thanks for the complements everyone!
