These were all shot with a D3000, my first DSLR, so as always all criticism welcome and appreciated. To save on one thing though, I know it needs lowered, my current exhaust won't allow that for now.

Beautiful car. It it just me or does it seem like the exhaust is hanging kinda low?

duals under the axle.. instead of tucking it back up once it passed the axle (forward) they left the rest that low... needless to say I've been a bit upset about that, but nothing I can do... more or less I got what I asked for =/. They set it that low so that the exhaust didn't have to be removed everytime the body got jacked up and so there was no chance of it rubbing the axle on the street under any circumstance. They wanted to play it safe in other words

Good looking car, but that exhaust is horrendous, playing it safe? I dont think so.

I agree with you.. its been on my list of things to do for awhile. The problem is finding a shop willing to do what I want around here.. its also preventing me from lowering the car and getting new wheels/tires (because the 4x4 look gets a lot worse with less rubber lol) If I can't it will likely end up dumped before the axle with bullets or exit out of the side in front of the rear wheels. Granted if I had TA ground affects you wouldn't even see the exhaust like that. The angle of the shots makes it stand out a lot more, I was literally laying on the ground for the last three hah.

thanks for the comments so far, keep it comin!

pics look good. And why would you ever ask for that exhaust. I doesn't take much to unbolt six bolts to take off the rear pipes w/ under the axle.

I love the color, hood, and VHT accents on the car!

Like said before, the exhaust is absolutely terrible and looks like it belongs on a C10 in a trailer park. I would run dumped before the axle with a formy if I wanted TDs.

It would look better than the stockers..

Deep Dish C5s or C6s with black centers and machined lip..that would flow pretty good..Or..Chrome in the same wheels..

I'm with you there, I have my eye on a set of black c6 z06s with deep dish and stainless lip. That should be the last finishing black accent.

As for removing 6 bolts to drop the rear exhaust... yeah that's no big deal, but replacing gaskets all the time is a pita.

What would you guys think of my tips exiting in front of the rear wheels at a 45 degree angle? if I use bullets and can keep it tucked up nice I think it has potential... and if I hate it I can always just get out the sawsall and add a dump instead lol
