All done. Painted, exhaust, and a dead alternator on my way back from taking these pics. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif At least I made it home. Must be all this hot weather coupled with the long drive to and from Seattle.

Anyway, the bumper turned out awesome. I wasn't sure about how much of a difference it would make aesthetically, but now that it's done I'm happy I did. Should have done it long ago. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hs.gif Getting those exhaust tips just right in the bumper cut-out was an interesting task. There's about an 1/8" on either side. Andre and I had to take the exhaust on and off and tack the new hanger like four times to get it just right. There was a little concern about whether or not it would be an issue with the tips that close to the bumper, but it was a 101degrees out yesterday on the 2hr drive home from PINAmotorsports and it didn't hurt it being that close, so it works out. I'm not sure if everybody will like the exhaust tips, but Andre and I both love them. His old exhaust was a similar setup and I wanted the same look. Fits well with the opening, IMO. Muffler is a Magnaflow 3" inlet with dual 2.5" outlets. I don't know what brand the tips are, but they're a nice double wall stainless. While I was there, I also had Andre fab me up a stainless intake tube to replace my black one. Now it matches the intercooler piping.

There's something wrong with your fuel door. It still has a lock on it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just wait, Nate. If you're anything like me, you'll never take your car out in the rain or snow. After that much time/energy/money is put into the car, you end up not wanting to dirty up all the stuff you spent so much time making nice and clean. Don't tell Luke, but I won't even park it in a WalMart parking lot for fear of door dings or runaway carts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif That said, your car is coming along nicely as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hs.gif

Thanks, dudes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm not a big fan of those style muffler tips, but I can't fault you for having a different taste than I have. As always, your car looks impeccable, especially with your new bumper. Keep up the good work Mark.

Yeah I don't like the oval I think two circles would have looked better but hey....

The bumpers always look good.

Damn sexy car! And are you selling the old black intake pipe? If so, I am looking for one.
 

I can see the 1st & last pictures but not the 2nd & 3rd.

EDIT: As soon as I posted & went back to view the thread the pictures showed up. Looks good. The rear bumper does take the car to the level where it should've been years ago /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. I like the dual tips, it tucked up really nice /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif. Matching pipes looks good too.
