I might go but it depends what day it is. I never go to meets except CL ones. The car might be in the body shop sometime the next week or so for painting and stuff for a few days.

The tips looks kinda long though or maybe it's just the angle of your shots.
Yeah, the tips stick out a bit too much. I didn't see it until the muffler shop had already finished the exhaust. Maybe like a quarter inch farther in and it's perfect.

I'll make one once I deal with the sound lol. Right now, there's just the primary cats. No resonators, secondary cats, or mufflers and it's quite loud. Literally, everyone in my neighborhood looks when I drive down the street and my gas mileage has been great cause I'm too scared to accelerate harder or it'll be loud.

Going to test out different mufflers to see what makes the best sound and has the least drone. I drove for about 110 miles today and I have a headache from the exhaust drone.

Thanks! Yeah, my friends got me the one with the hole for the emblem. Problem was that the hole wasn't in the right place for the emblem lol. And the body shop wanted to much to fill it. Most likely if I get a Wald and decide to mold it, I'll definitely have them shave the sides and the bottom so it's more flush.

Ever thought about completing the car with a full body kit to compliment the rear first before the spoiler?

Chi123 - can you post some close up pictures? I'd like to see how you manage to cut the bumper/lip kit!

When I got my rear lip, the HKS hi power I had at the time would rub against it, making a very annoying squeaking sound. I had my body shop shave the lip a bit and it provided enough clearance

Yeah, I have the Wald front already. Not getting sideskirts until I get myself $600 for an SE Tuned side.

Sure, I'll go take some later. The bumper is cut all ghetto. All I used to trim both the bumper and lip was a heat gun and exact knife. I heated up the bumper section to be cut and used a knife to do a rough cut. I then put the lip over it and I had already cut enough off the bumper so I got lazy and left it since no one can see. I was going to make it perfect and sand off the edges but this was fine. Same for the lip, Tips were 8 inches across so I measured 9 inches on the lip. Cut two half circles and cut the top and I was done.

About how much is it to mold the spoiler at a shop. And then to raise the quarters?
