Up next was a Dynomax axle back exhaust. This thing sounds awesome and is the best sounding exhaust for these cars in my opinion. Had a local muffler shop do the install. (April 18 2013)






This video was from around the time i got the exhaust. Took it with my go pro





Took this video today for you guys. The first rev was to 3k and the other one was full throttle at like 4k or whatever the limiter is..




And the one and only burnout ill ever do with this car

Next i pulled off the silver stripes and put some black ones on. The silver was cool but i didnt really think that i could get far in my build with them on.
A black/red theme was what i was looking for. The stripes literally just peeled off with no probelms at all. took me 5 minutes, no mess or residue left over.
Had a guy who does vinyl decals for a living do the stripes for me. Ive done pretty much everything on my car myself but i just thought ide
let him do it and not toss $150 dollar stripes down the drain.

I took the car down to car toyz and got the windows tinted 5% all around. The red/black theme is starting to coming together at this point!

I also plasti dipped the front and rear bowties any putting some vinyl on the side markers as well as the gills

I hate chrome!! plasti dipped the bezels black. They came out awesome and have looked perfect just like this for over a year now. (June 28, 2013)

I also threw in some led fogs from ebay that lasted me well over a year. Almost a perfect match with the RS hid's

I got a lot of catching up to do on this build. Trying to keep everything i did in order and finding all my pictures. doing as much as i can haha

Just saw them. Very nice. I like the stance on your car. Hope to get mine there soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

no problem. I think it has a good stance due to the coilovers and the front tires being pretty wide. 275 tires in the front and I'm lowered probably 2 inches.
