Got my new tips in! I am going in to have them put on and the exhaust fixed hopefully within the next week.

Got the new tips put on by Boise Muffler and wow it looks great. I am still not 100% happy with how it sounds on the inside, but it sounds pretty good outside of the car. They didn't have any short resonators in stock so none were put in.

Say goodbye to the gold! I know a lot of people said to keep the gold, but it is going. Some might not like the new finish on the faces, but I do! I dropped the wheels off today at Moda Metals (Deeda). I am not going to say exactly what the finish is until it gets closer to happening, I will tell you that it is NOT powder-coating. The inner barrels are going to be p/c'd in a matte grey while the lips are going to get a mirror polish thanks to Brandon (EM1_Si). Polished caps and bolts will be ordered soon.
