you think its absolutely necessary to get those things?

 

i cant see justification in paying $200+ for a couple slivers of metal that get jammed up close to your exhaust tips... some stainless steel on doubleback tape shouldnt be but maybe $40-50 custom made , and thats using GOOD black 3m take. I do paint and body, I dont see the exhaust hurting that paint so close , but using some flex additive and like someone said above, PREPARATION is key! clean with accusol, follow it up with alcohol to remove static and hit it with adhesion promoter. might want to sand it down smooth first, or use a high build primer to fill it in. I thought about bodymatching all the black on the outside of the car's lower trims, and/or deleting some and going with strong mesh grille material in its place. Make it look like something aussies would do from Sick Division... i'll post some pics here soon....

 

Oh cool. Yeah at first i was like okay that sounds like a good idea and it looks good. But its 200. I'm not spending that much on it. Thanks for the advice tho

 

i'd do it. little bit of insurance for your paint job...

 

what size exhaust tips do you have? 3" i don't think you'll have a problem. as long as it isn't poppin flames.

 

Lol its just the stock exhaust at the moment

 

you'd be suprised at how much direct flame a paint job can take before it hurts the finish... I use a blue point torch to rework bumper damage , it can take a lot of heat and melt the bumpercover before the paint blisters

 

Here is a Pink one that has been floating around that has been painted...
That is a lot of pink for that car...

 

i actually get my car back today, ill post pics later, the painted bumper looks really nice, especially with a real mesh in it

 

True that.
I really like the look of it painted and the only thing that would stop me from getting mine painted is the fact that you'll be able to see how dirty parts get around the exhaust tips. At least the unpainted stock color matches and hides it somewhat.

 

Where dem pix at?

 

lol i couldnt get any good ones, ill take some now

 

^and what about now ?

 

well i took some with my camera and they came out **** i had the wrong settings on, ill take some when i get back home..........in about 1 hour

very clean.

 

so how much did this cost you to get done? I don't know if I like the exhaust hanging there...I might just paint the rear and leave the mesh black.

 

i dont know how much it cost to be honest, i got it done with everything. It looks better in certain lights, and thats cus i get real close with the camera, im happy with it. it looks different

 

Very nice Anthony... "she bad!"

 

i can't see anything..
