Default Some new pics of my car.

Here are several pics I took over the weekend. My new mods include the JIC exhaust (which took about 4342321311 weeks to arrive ), a chrome (L) to replace my faded gold one, the soarer emblem, retinted the windows with 20% tint, and 97+ sideskirts.

Nice as usual Tan, I see you've opted for some selective debadging.
How does the JIC exhaust sound?

Hey Tan,
How far did you lower your SC? Looks perfect with that drop!

Your SC is looking good . Glad to see your exhaust finally made it off the slow boat. Are the pipes supposed to extend that far past the bumper? I'm not saying it looks bad, it's just I've never seen a set that far out beyond the bumper face. Better watch those shins!

hahaha, thanks.... no Hemi, but I did order the swap manual today from phil

It sounds nice and deep. Its almost too loud for me w/o the silencers so I keep those in. Ive heard the GReddy exhaust on an SC3 and its definately louder than that. I think it sticks out too much though, im hoping the 97 rear will cover up the exhaust a little more.

Jose, I really have no clue how much I lowered the car. I do on planning on getting some bigger tires as soon as these wear out so I can lower the car even more

thanks for the comments =). 808sc300 and wmulli both have the JIC exhaust and it sticks out just as much as mine does =(. I dont like how it sticks out so much at all. Im planning on picking up the 97 rear end and im hoping that it will cover it up a little more.

Looking good john, the funny thing is, I was getting SC advice from you when you ordered this exhaust!!

I have since:
Sold my 96
bought a 98
starting modding!!

THAT is a long time!! Cant wait to see it with the 97 kit, once you put the chrome 20s on and the 97 kit, you will have the EXACT SC that I intended to build

The JIC site says the FLT-A2's lower between .5-2.5 inches. but my car looks lower than that to me. i just never measured it from stock height, so i really have no idea.

hahaha, i know right!!! it was almost to the point where i forgot i even ordered the exhaust. the 97 kit is a go, but as for the 20's... the ones in the marketplace we were looking at wont clear the brakes -=(

Looking good, Tan!

Its really coming along well...especially from when I saw it at Day 1. =)

The 97 rear should fill out the rear for the exhaust...plus it will match the sides that took you forever to decide on haha....

oh.....get new wheels! hahahahah JK man...but you know where I stand on them...but hell they are better than stock...=)...put my freaking brakes on the car already hahaha
