95% Complete!

I need some outdoor pics, but here it is so far.

Now I need to find a suitable grill material for the cutout portion. I am also going to paint the heat shield black. Having the exhaust fitted on Monday hopefully...

Enjoy

Couple more pics for you. That heat shield is fugly isn't it? Either it gets painted, or I might cut the lower portion off completely. My dual exhaust will look pretty cool through the new opening I bet. Right now that track single is hanging in there.

Looks real good Nemesis, at first glance I thought it was a AutoExe rear.. Are you gonna put some mesh on it or no?

Talking tips

ok so here are the slightly modified to fit lexus ls 460 exhaust tips. im still trying to think of grill ideas to fill in the gaps, its proving to be a challenge so if anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them. and just to let all know, the tips are mounted to the bumper with some stainless hardware that i kinda bent up and made work. the tips are not going to be welded to the actual pipe, reason being is they would get way hot and melt all my work. tell me what ya think guys?

really i would just put some nice black mesh back there. if you get an aftermarket exhaust that has a chrome-like looking muffler to it, you will be able to see the shine through the mesh, which would look nice. let me do a quick photoshop
