Rv-6!

so my most recent update to catch everyone up has been adding PCD’s and a V3 J-Pipe from RV-6
i found this set BRAND NEW! for dirt cheap $350 (untouched) locally.
I was blown away and couldn’t believe it.
within two days of acquiring it was already on. Here’s some pictures of installation
No lie! Brand new!

Stock Vs PCD

Great Story with lots of progress in 2 years time. You have had quite some luck with finding good and cheap parts. Would love to convert my 07, but cant right now, but this is definitely motivation to actually go through with the conversion.

Have been rim shopping around but nothing is catching my eyes (locally)
The Cosmis MRII's are but a little expensive right now for the Holiday's.
So i did actually Buy OEM Type S Taillights and the chrome is much nicer than the AM Depo (pic upload tomorrow)

Now should I just paint the roof instead (black) or just do wrap?

Thank you man! Not as difficult as i thought it'd be.

Haven't really been updating and its been a while so I decide to keep filling in this thread with juicy details.
Since my last update I have installed my RV6 True Dual Exhaust which I was thankful enough to pick up from the Marketplace and sent to me from California

I started polishing all of the system soon as it arrived. Took about 6 hours. used Steel wool #0000
also used bar keepers stainless steel cleaner.

I also have been doing loads of maintenance work from the oil to transmission flush, filters and spark plugs.
also got around to cleaning out my Manifold and also painting up my engine bay covers


White Engine Bay Covers. Not as professional as I'd like them to be, but it's a start.
