Default Teaser pic of my Rebuild


here is a picture of one major change made to the body on the new shell. Along with this is a JIC body kit, shaved antenna, 97 taillights, grill, fogs, and vented CF hood. I will post more pics on this thread later this week

nice....I've always liked the center mounted exhaust

With the spare compartment right behind those tips, I'm assuming you'll end up going with a single exit exhaust set-up with a snake-like configuration with the muffler and piping....

the spare compartment was removed for this purpose. and a flat sheet metal was put in its place. I will runt dual stainless magnaflow mufflers. The tips are from Ractive, but I made sure the logo will be well hidden when finished.

i hope you dont plan on having the tips touching the rear of the bumper like that. or all your hardwork will turn into melted fiberglass.
