Unhappy Drunken evo mistakes

I had too much to drink while installing my gauges yesterday and did something i really regret now . i found some all weather waterproof matte black spray paint so i decided to paint my heat shied..that looked good so i took it a step further and well..the pics say it all. At the time it seemed like a good idea but now my friends are saying i ruined my exhaust. This really sucks does it look that bad? And if it does how can i restore it? I do like the stock exhaust and this sucks..

How did you ruin your exhaust? I painted the Varex muffler on my brand new $1200 MAP cat-back exhaust flat black, didn't ruin it.....

i have test pipe and downpipe..also the muffler is gutted made to look stock so as not to attract any attention mid-pipe with resonators are still there but im not worrying about it. trust me dude. it pulls lol i just live in ****ty canada where finding an all wheel dyno is like trying to find an std free hooker so i need to plan a trip down to the states for a tune.

I dunno man. Looks like hell. An Evo should never be "modded" with a spray can. Once you bust that out its a bound to look like a **** show.
