Way to be late, I thought you'd done that years ago!


Looks good, should get the rear chrome trim piece to match the emblem.

I don't know how it'd look on a CBP but I think you should reconsider the chrome trim piece option.

Matte Black might be interesting - but honestly - I agree with Brian - paint it CBP - it will look awesome.

look what came in the mail today straight from the UK

black chrome 3 inch dual exhaust tips.






wanted to test these out to see if it will give me that ATLP exhaust look without dropping 1000 bux. Also to keep my exhaust stock sound


they look much better in person.

Those look very nice,the black chrome will flow well with the theme you are going with.I have also been looking for tips since i do not want to change stock resonator/muffler.I believe the hfpc,jpipe and sri intake will be loud enough for me lol.
Can't wait to see them on your car.
