Exhaust is something that U can't ignor..

Dual flowmasters + Mandrel bended pipes = good rumble

Chrome tips will look good too

That looks great! Looks like a lot of replacing throughout the build. Sounds like a lot of dollars. It really shows! :o

The bowtie is actually painted with "Mazda Phantom Purple Mica" . It actually looks black at night & in the shadow ..yet U can see the deep purple with direct light

Take a look at the zoom-in attachment & U will C ..
