naw. since the area behind the front tire now is so different, i don't think it would look good or even fit.

Thank you everyone, most of you guys know that it was a long road and everything down to the paint was done by myself in my garage.
to see and hear the comments from others and peers on the site who can enjoy it makes it worth it!!

the pier shots are kind of funny. i had to cross a pretty busy bike path to get to it (supposed to be pedestrian only! lol) and almost got into a fight with a twit on bike who was saying i was blocking the bike path. he started saying he was calling the cops and that type of stuff but i decided to chance it anyways.
30-40' from where car was parked was the river fire department building. after 5 minutes of parking there 5 firemen came out and thought we were busted! they hung out for 20 mins taking pics of car and talking to me about it! haha. people walking on the bridge saw it and came down to hang out and talk about it too.
to say it gets attention is an understatement!

only people who ask about it are just people on the forum. not a single person has said anything about the tailights in person. haha. not a big deal to me. will do it sometime soon though.

i am waiting for him to send me more pics. hopefully tonight he will. the cobblestone road pics were good. it was under one of the bridges so you just see all these concrete pillars in the background.
the exhaust tips though are simple. super simple actually. i was at this metals place and a chunk of 2"x8" 3/16" wall tubing caught my eye. told them to slice me off 2 3" long pieces. went home and rounded the edges, made a flat backing plate, then put some 3" round tubing in my press to make the end 2" tall. welded it all up and painted black. took like 2 hours and total investment of $15. hahaa. looks trick and fits the kit perfect imo.

the center parts of the diffuser i just cut out the flat sections, and put in mesh. makes it look alot more detailed than the original piece. painted flat black behind it.

looks nice. can you lower the offest on the front wheels or just run some 10mm spacers.
