Looks Great! I also love the tinted reverse lights...I have been planning on doing mine. How did you get your front fog light grille black? Does it come out? I painted my front grille flat black and I would like to have the bottom the same.

Nice colour combo, is the exhaust loud with the rear silencer removed.

Thank you for the complements gents!

Well I wanted to see how it looked so I actually used black electric tape just for a mock up, lol
Now two weeks later and I have received a lot of complements from people who have seen it in person so I am going to spray paint the area in a flat black when I have a chance.

Let’s put it this way, my friend (gs42nv) has a Gs400 with a cat back system. He has custom piping from the cats which make their way to magnaflow mufflers then tips.
When we get along one another I am a good 15-20% louder than him, my car will easily drown his sound out.
I’m still quieter then a Cobra or a GTO (6.0)
Is it loud? In my opinion no but that’s something that will differ on a case by case basis.
I went out to lunch with my father the other day and he was commenting that although initially he thought the car was too loud, he has begun to like the sound and growl.

haha yep when I took my silencer out I was like wow thats loud.. then I got used to it and thought ermm needs to be louder

Yep you should spray those front bottom fog grills makes a nice contrast

You have peeked my interests. Tell me more of your custom exhaust.

Car looks great!!

How is your exhaust legal, especially in California. I know I've asked looking for your pictures and stuff, but I just don't see how you dont fail the visual for smog.

Thanks

Oh well being middle eastern the people I go to for a smog check are well lets say a little lenient. but as far as the check itself the car will pass it with flying colors.

White and chrome always looks good. The car needs a drop though.

It was crudely put together, but it did the job. The tips cost me 50 bucks from ebay, the piping was around 40 bucks, and I paid my exhaust guy around 80 bucks. All in all it was a very good mod for under 200 bucks, personally I could not justify spending 1000+ for the other options.

Looks great. Really nice wheels. I bet if you lower it an inch it would look even better.

Was it necessary for custom hangers?

Thank you! I know it would look 10X better, I think I'll bite the bullet and buy some coilovers in a few months.

while I'm thinking
my bank account is


I guess not, the whole set up weighs only a few pounds.
My exhaust guy is an old school guy and he always does everything to the T, so to him if there’s a hanger there might as well utilize it.
