I love your muffs! Ive got the same ones. This is the color my brother has been wanting to get for his SC. It came out real nice on your car.

Beautiful. Nice work! I really like how those mufflers look on the SC.

hmm..are you looking at the rubber molding right on top of the pass headlamps? if so, i probably did not put it flush back in place when i checked to see if they connected the front properly.

Not yet, I might give it a try though. I agree with most about 97 tails looking pink in some angles.

No I am actually looking at the line itself. the hood line rises up just a tad, or there is more gap between the fender and the hood.... hard to tell. Go out and use something to determine the gap between the pass side and the driver side. I can see the difference.

Car looks too good for imperfections that small. Stands out a bit more than on most.

I can't believe you made me go out in the cold and check my hood creases. I measured them, they're the same each side. I may have to look again tomorrow and make sure. Thanks for pointing that out, they do look funny how they came out in the pics.

When I was lining my hood up I just closed my eyes and ran my finger down the hood line. You'd be amazed how well that works without the distractions of seeing it as you're doing it. They say the blind are ten times better at details than the average joe.

I dunno why I just see a big discrepancy in the pics between side a and side b. You might be at a weird angle or something in the pics, or might notice it tomorrow. Guess we'll see.

Hell just drive it over and drop it off for a week or three

I liked them the moment I saw them on Hellaflush's & Baoser's cars. Took a gamble and put them on a red car, guess it turned out good. Amazing how these big cans do not have any drone at all and sounds very close to stock, just a bit deeper.
