Default Butt makeover

Got bored of the louvers and "bulky" rear end...


Before:



During:



And after:



Shaved off the third brake light, rear medallion, keyhole and spoiler holes.

I used a CDC LED third brake light kit up at the top of the rear window. I also did some stealthy install of the plate lamp wiring so as not to put access holes in my freshly shaved lid.

I loved the "no plate, no light, no nothing" look.

I've got the Saleen mufflers in the mail; PJ Saleen tips are already on hand. Hopefully I'll be up and running 100% by this weekend!

That looks great. I was gonna say, that rear really needs those quad exausts, but it seems your geting them. I like the shaved 3rd light. Looks really clean, cant wait to see it all finished.

You got butt shaved!

It will look a lot better with those exhaust tips too...
A Limer friend of mine did the whole Parnelli Jones deal (front and back) and it looks awesome.

Looks great. More pics please. How much did the bumper, plate holder, exhuast and tips cost you? If you don't mind me asking.
