Default criticism wanted...

hey guys, as many of you know my car is very heavy with black accents on tungsten.

within the next few weeks, i will be receiving my techart 911 turbo quad tips. i will be welding these tips on to my current lexus hks and then powder coating everything gloss black. how do you guys feel about what im doing? i know i should do my own thing, but it doesnt hurt to hear how the crowds feel...

Not sure what they look like, but I'm sure they'd appeal to me seeing as I'm going for the exact same black highlight on silver look and minus the sharkfin and the drop our cars look identical, lol.

LOL since when did you care about personal opinions? you went with a certain lighting feature even thou everyone here said not too But really all kidding aside....

The way i see mods here at CL... there is no originality, everything is cookie cutter, one person buys something and everyone else buys it, wheres the true 'custom' guys? fab your own/paint your own/go against the grain, theres only a handful here. YOU rob are one of them. I say go for it

either make the same mods as everyone else, or be creative and do what no one else has done.

personally i wouldn't do it, BUT that's my call.

btw how are you mounting them: angled - so they look like the IS-F exhaust, or horizontal?

i dont really see much modded tungsten pearl isx50, but a black exhaust would probably look really nice, just like how black rims and tint look for on our cars!!! go tungsten!
