RE: Been a while, New Pics
Where did you get the billet grille inserts?Do they bolt on over the existing grille? My car is thesatin silver color with the same black stripes, Magnaflow dual exhaust, except it is hard top.

RE: Been a while, New Pics
Did you have any problems with the Magnaflow? I had a weld break, then rattling, and hanger/clamp problems. It's ok now, but what horrible manufacturing. The car came with the grille from the dealer, the lower grill got stolen once, but a cool guy from this messageboards sold me a replacement for dirt cheap. The only place I have seen them sold is on that ponybuilder.com website. The car wash in the garage of my work building does great regular washes for $12! I did detail the interior couple weeks ago after driving it at coachella all over dirt and sand. I can't decide what my next mod should be, front chin spoiler, T-Lok and gears, HIDs, or intake/tune. I think the intake/tune is most important, or maybe the HIDs as I have dark tints and can't see %#^#% at night.

I guess you are talking to me???
As for the Magna Flows, I just got this car on Tuesday (may 22) so still trying to find out what all has been done to it. I did however, for some unknown reason, look at the underside. On one of the pipes it looks either like a crappy weld job on the hanger/clamp and then it looks like a plastic grocery bag melted to it!!! Thought it was a bad case of rust at first til I got a mirror and flashlight out for a better look. I believe what I thought was rust is actually the burnt plastic bag! The car has been well kept, whoever had it before me did take care of it. They put the GT bumper on it to accomodate the exhaust, GT spoiler, stripes, dark windows, etc... not sure what engine mods have been done. There is some sort of alarm but the dealer had no clue where the remote is to it or what typeof alarm it is. There is supposed to be a chip? that slides into a piece mounted under the dash. It glows orange when the car is running but is off when the car is off. Guess it will have to be removed since I don't know how it is set up. It definately lets the neighbors know when you start it up! It is a V6, but there are no badges on it, so for all they know it's a GT (except for the front grille)!
