I think that's the home depot lip

nice looking GG {thumbup}

Any clearer pics of the tips? I have the Buschur Racing catback, but my tips are all tarnished and stained from the previous owner so I'm thinking of getting new ones

its a custom carbon-composite material with impregnated polyisoprene. If you paypal me $150 I can have one custom made for you and shipped within 2-4 weeks...

...
just kidding, its $14 and its a garage door weather strip, with 3m adhesive used to keep it on. It has survived winters and snow without cracking or warping. its even saved me from scraping on a few occasions (which was its main purpose)

Here is a pic of the tips back before they were powder coated. The powdercoat is great.. its so much easier to keep clean, its more stealth, and I don't have to worry about rusting at the welds..

haha i was like, "holy ****?!" I was waaaaay off haha :P but yeah, the home depot lip looks good for awhile, but when it starts getting weathered and scrapped up and starts tearing you have to redo it :crap:

That looks bad ass. did the tips already come in pairs/duals? or were they custom made like that? with a splitter/mini y-pipe thing

the tips came as duals, it was very hard to find the exact style tips I wanted. these are double walled as you can see

I like them a lot, what brand are they and where did you get them?

after searching far and wide, ebay really had the best selection. they are just generic dual exhaust tips from ebay. bought 2. the UR catback sounds great, but i hated the fat-cannon exhaust tips.

Nice looking RA. One of the best I've seen. The trunk and those dual tips look dope! So you're done with exterior mods? No front/rear lip? I love the way aftermarket lips look on these, I think they create a much more aggressive look, but maybe they are not in your phase plan. :lol:

Where did you hook up your V1? I'm thinking about putting my mini unit in the vent like that but not sure how long if a wire I'm going to need. Also awesome ride :D

I didn't even notice until now, but I like your trunk button relocation ;)

Very Nice. Keep up the good work. Finally glad to see a girl car that doesn't have some girly color in it. Very nice gigi.
