At 10:59 A.M. CST the car is in the muffler shop getting teh muffler tips on. I ended up finding a set of 3" Magnaflow exhaust tips, slightly angled and rolled. I was hoping to find some without an etching on them but not successful with that, but at least I'll get the diffuser on and have straight tips.

Here's the car with the new tips and diffuser. No more flames on DTMs. I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Price is going to depend on the material you get: DVWP, 1X Cf, or 2X CF. The range will be from $1100 - to about $1600 or there about. You can paint the CF if you want.

You should contact the following and let you know I referred you (perhaps he'll give you a better rate). Good luck.

They aren't brighter. The higher the color temperature the lower the light output. Period.

Either way, I like them and that's what's really important. Thanks!
Agreed. Car looks good. Enjoy!

Regrets on the delay for response. The springs are Tein S Tech with Koni SA. I plan on changing them out and going with KW V2 coilovers. Thanks.

Thanks. I did cut the tips off and replaced them with Magnaflow until I can find something better. These only cost me $40 each so it was too bad but I want something better. The muffler has less than 10k miles on it and it sounded so good that I didn't want to part with it. The bumper and grill below have been adjusted since the pics.

Some of my favorite pics
