LOL...actually, I bought a set from Glenn (sickTLs). Since they're off the car, and easily paintable...and I have the same color that John (ebelp) has...I'll give them a shot. See if I like it all together.

Meko, thanks buddy...I appreciate your posts a lot. You put a lot of sincere thought into what you write. I used barkeeper's friend AND some metal polish I have. Although Richie does a great job of chroming it really well so it's already pretty shiny!

Well the teal hue doesn't match the lugs perfectly, but I think it's ok since it's in the ballpark. Standby for when I get my rear caliper covers, I'll test it out.

Steven, thanks man...20 bucks shipped on amazon and it's REAL CF!

Yeah, I opted out of the blue Work lugs because I was afraid it would clash too much with the teal. I'll let you be the guinea pig...if it works out, maybe I'll upgrade lugs.

Got a link to said CF plate frame?

Well, I MAY swap that tag to Betty's car (minor update there... ) and then get the 4 holed plate frame. I like all four bolts holding in place.

Oh, I'm sure you can...then you can dremel heads off those badboys and lay it flat. OR drill them out and insert these:

Here's the 4 holed version:

When you remove the trunk liner under, you can unbolt that whole plastic area and then take it inside to work on it on your dining table.

Yeah, I've had the exhaust for like 4 or 5 months I think...and the tails too. That was a while ago. Please take note on HOW to park to avoid dem door dingz!

Ok, like the sun coming off the car, so took some shots.

How is the exhaust tip?

2012 ROUSH RS3 Mustang


But I can't find it
There is this one but, I guess it's kind of narrow
and expensive for a one that looks like our stock one

http://www.roushyatesparts.com/Roush...rop-403547.htm

If it was something like this...

Silver car fact
You won't belive that after you see what salt did to my car

First picture has too many feelings
Shape of the rims, offset of the tires, headlight, lovely UA6 mirrors flowing nicely, little touch of the wing, window visors
Dammit, all in one haha

You won't believe it but after reading your above posts BEFORE that one you just put up, I was looking at the same thing.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STAINLES...b60468&vxp=mtr




I won't say no hope on Richie but I will read the writing on the wall.
Being swamped making batch 2 exhausts and having batch 3 TYPE S people lining up around the corner to pay $1700 for his exhaust that works for them just fine. I'm going to guess that the base tip is not going to be a huge priority anytime soon.

Thanks Mek...that picture makes me LOVE the rear spoiler. I should just be happy with it and stop being a freak already. I keep being wishy washy about it, but in the end, it looks great and I miss it every time it's gone.

Exactly
You miss it because it adds so much to the look, unlike the lip spoiler right..

I still couldn't figure out how Tyler's TL looks good witout a spoiler. May be white being standing out too much pulls it
+ Playing with black on it... boom beauty

look at the headlights haha
