Painted Catback Black

Hi all, Just wanted to let you know I got tired of seeing the big fart can and low hanging chrome exhaust. It was really getting to be an eyesore, and it started pitting and rusting. Its the old cheapo Logic performance catback.

Anyways I got a can of Rutland 1200 degree flat black grill paint from the hardware store. Taped off the bumper and sprayed about 2 coats.

So looking at the back of the car you dont amediatley notice the low hanging chrome exhaust and the large fart can. It kinda blends into the black underside.

Just one more step to becoming more stealth, and less attention from the 5.0.

Took about 10 mins. to do and very easy, of course I did it. LOL

Picture size is fine,, get some tissues.

Also the Hitch was made by a guy from evom back in 2003. It fits my Hollywood bike carrier.

If I had to do that again I for sure would go with a roof rack. This one bounces wayyyy too much for me. So anyone looking to carry a bike,,,, go with the roof rack. I cringe everytime I go over bumps in the road and see my expensive bike bounce up and down. I can just see it break off and get run over by the car or truck behind me.

I can when the lighting gets better. But really it just kinda gets sucked up from all the other blackness/darkness from under the car. It just dosnt jump out at you like a shinney quarter.

Looks good. It might have been O.K. if you left the tip chrome though.
