Thanks. The tint is 35% I am happy with the look of it, I thought it was really needed on a black car. Now onto lowering and exhaust......

Installed my Apexi catback this weekend. I hit the canisters in Cerakote as I didn't like the look of the silver from behind. HUGE difference

My little helper and I had it installed in an hour and a half.

Wow, that really looks nice, especially on the white. How are you liking the overall sound? Any perceived increase in power?

That looks so much better to me...maybe bc it doesn't scream aftermarket to the cops.
Nice job...
what's Cerakote??

I believe it's a coating used on firearms...some pretty tough stuff.

yep!

the stuff is unreal and easy to work with.

I LOVE the sound, coming from two ISF's i've gone through several systems. Borla, and HKS SSM (both catback) and this is without a doubt my favourite sound and system.

I don't care what anyone says about weight from the ISF... this car is better in every single way

and yes there is definitely an increase in power... I may have lost a touch of platinum out of the cat's as well.

Do you have a link where you got that stuff? I would love to take away the silver look from my muffler. And will it come off? Also how much did you buy?

I bought it from a local gun smith.

It's pretty tough ****, maybe airplane paint remover would take it off but it is very chemically resistant.

My other suggestion would be G2 caliper paint in black.

Thanks!

It's grown on me every time I look at it, and so far it's my favourite sounding system for the RCF

I was skeptical when you said green, but this really looks good. Can't wait to see more. What size wheels are you riding on? Were you on RSR or swift springs?
