Talking SOM CME installed + Tint

got every thing done this week... wish the tint was darker but it works, cme exhaust has some fitting problems but looks good... and the tips are kinda offset looking im going to heat them up and take a hammer to it to make it even..

Definitely like it. Wish my state would allow something darker than 35%. Looks good though, I like the center exhaust too.
