I'm also considering getting another set of taillights and going "dark red" instead. But I'm probably gonna stick with these for a while and see what's what.
Sound clips should be up by today or tomorrow.

Nice work AA!

Just a slight correction in regard to the Evosport exhaust that was used.
There ARE resonators in the mid section after the x-pipe. If you look at the original pictures of when AA got the exhaust you can clearly see the resonators that Evosport uses.

Did you guys open up the OEM cans and remove any material from the inside? It helps with the resonance/droning.

A bit darker than I was expecting, but after comparing it to the "before" pictures, it seems to look meaner and cleaner. I just hope that my reverse lights will actually shine through all that black paint...
I'm also considering getting another set of taillights and going "dark red" instead. But I'm probably gonna stick with these for a while and see what's what.

It was my idea, but sometimes you hit and sometimes you don't. I'd say since I'm a cosmetic guy Im about 99% on target most of the time.
Past 4 cars I've done have all been magazine cars and Award Winners.
Nice to see me do stuff and then everybody copy.
Keeps me on my game.

Great work guys. The thing sounds nasty as it should. Always loved the white on the BS. You know having the tinted taillights actually loses HP. Has something to do with the reflective properties of the tint, the alignment of planets and gravitational pull of the moon on the East Coast. They work great, however, here on the West Coast ![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)
You will need to install our lightweight rear rotors to counteract the effects of the lenses...or I hear if you tune the radio station to AM 1560, flip both visors down, shift into Reverse with your right turn signal on, it will help as well.
JT: Can I borrow your car again?

And no you cannot borrow the car again - as it is already reserved for the next 6 or 7 weekends by Various Tuners.

Absolutely meant nothing to do with you or your taillights sir.
You have no cosmetic mods of any sort. So not sure why you applied that to yourself. Obviousy I know that Tinted tailights is nothing new or groundbreaking but let me know the last time you saw CF window trim?
Wanna bet you see it soon?
and dont know if you've ever heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I'm still nice

HAd mine done - and HATED them - bought a new set within 2 days.
It was my idea, but sometimes you hit and sometimes you don't. I'd say since I'm a cosmetic guy Im about 99% on target most of the time.
Past 4 cars I've done have all been magazine cars and Award Winners.

And why do you feel the need to tell us that you have 4 award winning cars?
Im not crazy... When someone makes a comment like that, i have to say something.... Im not in your BS thread... your in mine...

So props to you and props to TTM. But I don't understand why you guys are trying to stir ***** up. Nobody's competing here and we should all just try to enjoy ourselves and our rides. Period.

Thats why...... In a thread where i just stated that we tinted the taillights...
And why do you feel the need to tell us that you have 4 award winning cars?

You've taken everything completely out of context. I meant absolutely nothing directed to you or your customers car.
I could care less what you do to the car how fast it is how it sounds or whatever.
I am an independent guy I represent myself - I wasnt trying to hijack your thread at all. I was merely stating an opinion on the tinted taillights and the mention of the four award winning cars was whats called a "point of reference" sir - to establish some credibiity and to show this car wasnt my first and not an accident that it looks like that.
THis is a perfect example of why I hardly if ever participate in the board discussions and I would have alot to contribute.
Maybe if you weren't so uptight about Bruce and TTM you would not have reflected your feelings towards him on me.
Anyone who knows me knows I have NO PROBLEM speaking my mind and I say whatever I want whenever I want - on the board in your face or wherever.
I am not was not and do not wish to "stir up" anything. And I think if you look back and look at it from a different perspective instead of the defensive stance you automatically took (because of TTM) you would see it was harmless.
Now perhaps your thread can get back on track here.
Good luck with the car.

Hey JT this is why i feel the same way.... Im not Uptight with TTM and Bruce.. I Met him once at a meet, i dont really know him... i just dont like people "over my shoulder" on the internet... I make a thread and i usually stay in my thread... I dont want to step on anyones toes... So nothing against you, im sure your cool as hell..lol... Im just here creating my own little world... As a sponsor i think i have to remain a positive influence to the board members, and let other sponsors do their business and make their money...
So hopefully you see why slacker is chiming in.... you could of just stated... "i had tinted tails, didnt like them so i decided to get new stock ones...." Instead you had to go on about your 4 showcars and how you had them first and EVERYONE is copying you.... It just seemed a little out of nowhere...
Can you somewhat agree?
