That's a good looking spoiler. Fitment appears to be very good... replica right?

thanks

it actually looks better than I thought it would be
I bought it from a member, it says it's Lorinser style spoiler, I am not sure if it's replica, but that doesn't matter to me as long as fitment is good.

Very Nicely Done!~

Do you mind letting me know which model of the Magnaflow Muffler you used?

This mght sound stupid, but would it affect the car's performance by relocating the muffler from the rear to where the resonator is? Cus I am thinking about the flow rates and pressure.

Infos please~

i am not sure about the performance, you mgiht gain/lose few hp, but i don't think you can really feel the difference.
for my case, the sound and look is more important, since it's not that fast of a car anyway, and it's not build for performance like your c32.

Performance isn't at the top of my head right now~ I have been wanting to custom make a quad setup for a long time! Basically I am willing to sacrifice HP for the quads.

Do you still remember the model number of the muffler you bought?

I don't really recall, cause the shops tried few different ones and see which one I like.

so, it's been a while since I did anything to my car.

I had hard time keeping my exhaust tips clean, so guess what I did.

Welcome to the black tip club.


Not only does your car look awesome with the quad tips blacked out, it doesn't show the residue from the exhaust any more.

Now continue the black out on the chrome bump strips around the car and under the windows.

Frank,

I would black it out if I were you, cause your tips has brand on it, unlike mine, it's just regular tip..haha

Not thinking about black out chrom strips, at least not now, but might smoke the tails a bit though.
