sweet color but you seriously need to go to a different exhaust shop. if a competent exhaust shop can't hang it right, they shouldn't be in business...

Everyone is saying lower it, but it looks like your exhaust is sitting on the ground!

Not quite, duals w/ h-pipe and stock manifolds ran under the axle.

The only thing the shop did I don't agree with is that they ran it straight back to the axle then curved it back up, it really needs two more bends to make it body height in front of the axle too =/.

And yes as of right now with the exhuast, there is no way to lower the car.

adn torchd what pic are you seeing that looks like the car isn't tinted

Thanks again everyone, keep any suggestions coming!

What's so bad about the hood fitment / quality? It doesn't look so bad to me?

a direct qoute from my grandfather.. "a 2 year old with a paint brush could have put the resin combining the two peices on better than this!" and none of the nuts would stay in the hood with any kind of pull on them. Thats for the quality. As for fit.. it's an inch too short, you can't tell it because of the angle of my pics, but there is a 1/2-3/4" gap between the end of the hood and the front bumper, it took is a long time to get the gap that small. Just crappy quality all around, over 14 hours in the hood alone to get it to look that decent. (that's not counting the time spent trying to align it!) as a reference we bolted the factory hood back up just to see, since the whole front end had been replaced.. and yeah, it fit like a glove. I could go on for weeks about all my dislikes with the hood quality.. it's the worst part of my car right now. I'm very tempted to just buy a WS-6 hood and have that painted with my last remaining bit of this color... I just love the look of this hood
