Looks good :D. Your car needs a bath or it needs to be dusted. I can see light dust on it in the pics lol j/k ;)


Thanks.  I have been driving the car this week and yes it is dusty now.  I am going to go out and wash it once it cools off a little outside...jerk! lol.:beatyoass:

You need this stuff: http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product_detail.asp?T1=MEG+QUIK+16 I use it to "dust" my T-bird after every drive or two. That way I only have to wash it once or twice a month, which means I don't have to wax as much ;)

Don't you know there's no shine like Mothers?  Last year at Power Tour they gave us a bunch of Mothers Showtime spray wax and I gotta say I am impressed.  I had always used Meguiars (and still do some), but Mothers is pretty kick ass.

I thought you were going togo with chrome turn downs for the  tips?

Look good. Seems like they angle down a little odd though. I want to hear it though.

I really should put some tails on my car again....

Meh I like the Meguiar's stuff better. What I posted up wasn't a spray wax it was "quick detailer", which is a fancy liquid that lets you dust your car. Just spray it on, wipe it off, and presto it looks like you just washed your car without having to drag soap and a bucket out to do it :D

I think the tips angle down too much and I personally hate seeing that weld where the pipe was extended. I think you should of gotten new tail pipes made from scratch.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

thanks vin.  With tailpipes it sounds 110% better!  I also was shocked at how much it quieted down with getting the noise behind the car.

I agree with Kendoo about both his comments about your exhaust and the forum....  if you cant handle constructive critisim then dont post and ask what we all think....:flip:

The weld being visible doesnt bother me as that is the exact way mine is, but why did they weld them on the angle?

Well I didn't mean my comment to come across shiznitty...I just keep my negative comments to myself when it comes to saying things about other people's rides.  We all put a lot of time, money, and effort into these things so I get a little touchy about negativity.  I sure wouldn't say that I didn't like a certain thing about your car, instead I would just keep my mouth shut.  I guess that's just me.

They were welded down at an angle because that is what I wanted.  I like how it looks.  thats really all that matters:D
