That is amazing. If you see my car up close it really has a nice shine and glass like effect, but you have a full blown clean mirror, lol.

I might take you up on that sometime when I go to the dragon next trip =) Are you going to wake the dragon? LoL

Ya I know, the fuji sticks out pretty far. I may try to get the AP2 tips welded onto it if I keep it.
I wonder if the difference in the AP1/AP2 units is the extension.....you have a side pic of yours? This is AP1/AP1. The tip extension is not bad at all:

I'll try to get one. Its definitely longer than the bumper though. I remember making the comment that if the car gets hit from the rear, the exhaust tips will get hit before the bumper. I'd say less than 6 inches, but its there.

I'll try to get you a side pic Bill! Glad to be able to cater to one of your requests for once as opposed to the other way around, lol.

When I ran the Fuji group buy, I had to wait another month for the AP2 units. Never saw the difference, but MAYBE it's the extension. Supposedly the website is incorrect, there are two models....

Car looks good, sucks that they stole your seats and camera... why did you replace them with stock seats? Why not just take the insurance $ (or your hard-earned money) and buy some nice Bride seats, and have some $ left over? Either way, props on the color choice, my father's friend has an M3 in this color and it is phenomenal, the color alone looks like a work of art.

Justin, that detail job is ridiculous, I can't belive four and a half hours of claybarring! I would've developed carpal tunnel halfway through

Ya I'm dying to get it a super detail job done to it to really bring out the marvelous paint job. Any wash and wax wackos in South Florida willing to help (or be paid, lol).

Well I went with stock seats becuse I wanted to keep the OEM look, the brides are cool and all but I didn't want to go that route. I got a pair of flawless 06 seats (they were used for a few months in a friends car) and did some seat rail modifications to make them fit in an 00-05 and they have really grown on me. I bought them for $1200 so I still did almost as good as the bride route
