the epicooler fits pretty good, same height as the bumper without the lip

 

Man, bumper doesnt look like it matches with the body. I was about to go to that paintshop too -.-

 

haha he never saw the car thats why, i'm going in for a repaint soon anyways since the AP1 bumper support stressed cracks into the usual area. im bringing it in after I get a dang hardtop

 

here's a picture right after it got painted, it actually blends better now then it does then.

to tell the truth, you can't really expect it to match from any shop. It will NEVER match the fender or hood because its made of plastic, plastic will have less "depth" and luster compared to metal. dunno though, the bumper to me isn't that important because in the end im behind the wheel of the car.

 

I know that exhaust. I'm the one you picked it off from

 

haha, knew you were on the boards. im thinking about chopping it up, but first I gotta mount it to hear how it sounds. I'm hoping to be able to position it or bend it so its straight exit instead of angled. trying to keep it low profile

 

Theres a really good muffler shop in belmont called Exhaust Works and his prices are way better than any other place i've been to. For example, i chopped my stock exhaust and decided to take off my hks. Brought my car to him, took off my hks, welded up my stock exhaust in 20 min. $50 Call ahead because he does get booked.

 

does he do custom downpipes? haha i'm looking for one ASAP, if it can be done before saturday then i wouldn't mind paying a bit more so I can get it on the dyno with a tubular manifold.

 

Hmmm is your downpipe easy to get to?
I'd give him a call and jet down there so he can
Put your car on the rack or lift so he can
Take a look.

Caution - driveway to get in isn't too bad
If u aren't too low. Driveway exiting might be
A problem and isn't too wide to go at an angle.
