Not the best pics, but it's been gloomy and overcast here since....well.....fall. Sorry no pics with the 20's yet, i'm waiting a little longer to put them back on since we are supposed to get snow this week. On that pic with the stock sideskirts you can see the frozen water on the skirts as I just came from the wash
This is on stock springs as my L-Tuned shocks/springs won't be here untill later this week. I'm actually surprised how quiet the mufflers are, but thats coming from a guy who had a stang with a full exhaust system/ported heads/cam. I drove it a little with no mufflers and it wasn't even that loud either.

Thanks, i'm still trying to decide which grille I like better. Yeah that tire has a leaky valve stem. Just filled it again today I had the one on the passenger side fixed a couple weeks ago and now that one starts leaking. Go figure! Plus i'm missing a center cap. Guess that's why they are my winter wheels

Thanks
Thanks
The stock tips are very small and no chrome. The tips in my "before" pic are aftermarket and are actually bigger than my L-Tuned. The previous owner put them on so I have no idea what brand they are. You should be able to find pics of stock tips in the gallery if you would like to compare. Hope that helps!

What i used to do on my stang was take some soapy water and steel wool to the tailpipes and that worked really well at cleaning them up. If you are looking for tips, i'm sure pep-boys has hundreds of different styles. If you like the way my LTuneds look, I think carson toyota sells just the tips if you don't want to do the whole mufflers.
