Mike, I think you're just jealous cuz you don't have chrome tips...j/k.
Seriously, about your bezels... did you paint the inside or the outside?
Thanks.
LOL, I do wish mine were chrome sometimes. New mufflers are definitely on my mod list in the near future, i'm craving more volume that the GT takeoffs can give me.

Actually I painted the inside and the outside. to make sure I got everything and no light bled through. I've had mine on awhile now and i've since heard that even though the bezels are smoked in color that no light comes throught them, but I dunno, I never did a test run on them unpainted.

I agree on getting something for the tail lights. It will add tons. I like the honeycomb panel.
BTW what kind of flows are you running and how do you like them?

Looks great, love seeing the pics of your ride, gives me ideas and motivates me to look into getting louvers, already have the honeycomb panel and love it, adds alot to the rear end

looks great!! I find that the our rear looks naked with out a blackout panel
I agree with you about the car looking naked without the blackout panel. Not to change the subject but could you post some pictures of your hood/hood pins. I think they look great!

It's because they stick out too much.
They wouldn't look that big if they were flush with bumper.
Optical effect can play tricks on you.

Haha, good one.
I did install duals on customer rides with the OEM bumper (4' tips). Flowmasters I think they were...
Anyway, it looked good.
