As for the exhaust it was custom made to go around the black box on the left and leave enough room so that the black box doesnt get hot. but the kit looks alot better in person.
I really wanted to lower it, but icant because the front is too low. but i am planning on putting some 19's on, gun metal w/chrome lip.
Oh yeah and the front Poly bumper was a good fit!
Keep the opinions comming

Then I would steal them off of your car and they would somehow find their way onto mine.

Very unique looking.. however it really looks like your bumpers need to either have more clear coat on them or need to be wet sanded and buffed big time. They look really flat and dull, and especially at night you should really see painted urethane bumpers shine... And you really think that the gap below your headlights is because its a 2k2-2k3 bumper? Does anyone have this bumper on a 2k2-2k3 to compare?
I hope you didn't pay upwards of $500 for that exhaust... Completely advertised as "mandrel bent" and there is a huge crush bend that goes around the spare tire well. All in all the exhaust looks good, but CM just blows my mind.
And no axis spyders pleeeeease!! Get some seven mods or the hiro's.
Don't take this a hatorade post, just some constructive criticism.

Thanx, yeah the gap isn't a big deal because you cant really see it too much in person, and once i get some weather stripping it will be gone.

The paint on my front bumper started to crack a little right under the headlight, so i gatta drop it off at the body shop next week. anyone know why this happened? also wile its going to be there they are going to fill in the gap between the headlights and the bumper.
#137
Maybe you had bad paint or maybe somebody backed into you. When the poly flexes and the paint doesn't it will crack. What kind of primer did you use. THere is primer that is able to bend once dry. Can't remember the name but it is best on plastic that have a tendency to bend or move.
I really like the wheels you are looking at and i really like your eyelids.
Both the dual exhaust posted there are true dual exhaust however they could both be improved by adding a crossove pipe be it a straight H or a smooth x to allow the gasses to interchange with each other and exit at the same frequency. I haven't really looked at my max but I bet it could be done with enough $$ and some resourcefulness despite there being not enough room. If I get bored some day I might even try it. No need for the Y pipe in that case.

i think that paint is called FLEX PAINT, my brother had the same problem with his polyurethene front bumper on his S-10, he found out that the first guy that painted it didnt use the flex paint that polyurethene needs so it will bend with it and not crack.....

oh ok i see, well they are repainting it for free.
now i have a nother few things that need to be repainted, my car was parked outside my work on friday, and some guy in a crown vic side swipped it, just the front bumper nothing major, but now my left fender and whole font bumper are ganna get repainted, also i told the shop to do my hood, from all the paint chips.
and he will hopefully do a good job on the gap by the headlights.
ill post pics when its all done
#141
its finally done, they repainted my fender, front bumper and hood, (no more hood chips) and they lifted up the front a as much as they could to get rid of that small gap between the headlights and the bumper, so now id say it looks perfect. ill post pics when i can. i also had them install a compustar 2way alarm, and i would recomend it to anyone it is a great alrm.
