new mods

Just wanted to get a few pics of my new toys up on the forum. Not a fan of chrome so I changed out the rear emblem and had the stock tips powder coated black. Also threw on the cargraphic exhaust. Love the sound and it gives noticable kick at high speeds. I wanted black tips, but i'm not a fan of the "quad" look. I think it looks great.

Want to thank Ron Brown for the great work and service.

Eric

Looks good...are you not concerned about the tint being illegal in NJ? I only ask because I'm desperate to tint mine but have had cops make me remove it in the past which isn't fun...

I've got the car registered in Florida, so if I do get pulled over I just tell them it's legal there. Even though it's not...

Thanks for all the compliments.

My tips are in the process of being "ceramic coated." I did a search and another member - Atomic80 - originally did his in powdercoat, but it melted off due to the heat generated by the exhaust. Any shop that powdercoats should be able to ceramic coat.

i was considering doing the same types of mods on my Z. turning the Shiny chrome emblem black, and painting my exhaust. on dark cars it really does look amazing.

you sir have some very good taste!

I agree with Neil...getting the wheels black would be very nice.
