*ahem* I guess I'll say it again, not a fan of cutting holes out of my bumper. I'm not going to pay to have it painted cause that would be a waste of money, The tip is about 0.5" from the bottom of the bumper. Not very far at all.
I guess it takes some longer than others to realize different people have different tastes and like different things. Once again, you're guys' cars are awesome and everything, but I am not into nor have I ever been into cutting holes in my bumper. Or highly extensive mods. Not worth the time and money to me to chop a decent hole, then get it repainted. If I do anything to my bumper I'll just end up getting a lip kit to drop the bumper a little bit, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, my money has different priorities than body kits and paint, besides I'm 100% content with it so why change it??
I like making a car work with what it's got. So realistically, the only other mod I'd consider anytime in the near future would be to drop it on TanabeDF210's, not coilovers, not airbags. Just a new spring/shock setup.
And it's an 07 Mustang GT
my sisters. Pretty sweet ride!

Pure is right in that keeping information clean and simple is a good goal. Jchrome I hear you relative to you not wanting to alter the bumper as it is not in your plans. No matter what you accomplished your goal with stainless mufflers and a different sound 
BTW, If I bothered to read the thread from the beginning I would have seen the red car in question was in your driveway NOT the red car in the signature of user 1995ls400
which is why I said Ferrari 612 Scagletti

I'm not calling you out at all, and I did want to make it sound that way. It's just hard to perfectly explain my reasons for asking. I just like to see other peoples perspectives on things. Thats why when I put pictures of my car up, I knew most people wouldn't like the 20's at all, and thats fine, and I love hearing their reasons why they don't like them. I do agree with you though, Brandicus, about the tucked look.
jcrome, are you gonna get a sound clip up for these like you did on your old 1gen?

Its the internet where people have opinions. Ones person taste differs from another. The Original Poster asked for what we think about it and we should be able to say if we like it or not. Why should everyone praise something they dont like?
Imo the exhaust themselves look fine but they just look way too detached from the rest of the car. A rear lip may help.

Not to be offensive or anything, but how can you not like his but you like yours? It just seems, TO ME, that his is way more subtle and simple than yours. What don't you like about it? The way you can see the "cans" so much?
Don't get me wrong, Brandicus, I think you're car is beautiful, besides the exhaust... just seems alittle "out there" for my tastes. So I guess I'm just curious what you don't like about jcromes exactly!

Who in this thread said you can't say if you don't like it? If you are referring to me, then you need to read my other posts.

Yeah I'm going to get some more shots soon. I finally had the mufflers raised flush to the bumper, so they don't look so "detached" from the bumper. I took the pics a couple days before my appt. because the weather up here has been sucking heinously and I didn't know when it'd be sunny again. So try and bear with me haha
I don't care if people don't like it. I know different people like different things. I just want to share my vehicle with the community. Like it or not, I love it, and that's all I care about. To all of you who do, I appreciate all the positive feedback and comments. However to all who don't, I truly hope you can simply just appreciate the passion we all share for Lexus'.
New pics up soon.
