i think the car would look a lot cooler without the bumpers, and maybe a boom tube or something out the side. other than that i think it's pretty cool... just not my style.

but the work looks top notch!
Thanks! Is there better pictures of the exhaust/tip your talking about. I can't figure it out from that picture.

With the exception of the import power and that exhaust....the car looks absolutely beautiful.

Those are cool, but I don't think possible for the setup on this car. The exhaust side exit will interfere with the subframe connectors. The ground clearance on the car is pretty low as it is already, and running 3" exhaust piping reduces this clearance.

they are available in 1-1/16 to 1.5 inch thickness.. i think that ought to clear

also the very reason they are on nascar cars, where they are called boom tubes.. is to disperse the "crack" from fumes exploding in the exhaust and mellow the boom to a rumble.... it will do the very same on your "ricer-spec" monster engine.... (no disrespect intended :-) )
