Default Some new additions (pics)

This winter was good to me. I saved up quite a bit of cash and finally got the T/A rear bumper I had been wanting for my Formula. The car looks so much better now, like it's more finished. I also added eBay stainless steel inserts for the rear PONTIAC lettering - I can definitely recommend them. They look so much better than decals and actually look like the factory intended them to be there. The last addition was some new 17" C6 replicas. I'm thrilled with the way the car is coming together... now I just need that WS9 hood and I'll be done with appearance stuff. Sorry the pics aren't very high quality... this was just a quick and dirty shoot. I'm posting some other pics and more details about wheels and tires in the "wheels and tires" section.

Thoughts?

Yeah, good call on the tips. I know I need them but I'm waiting until I can afford the Magnaflow cat-back I want. No sense buying tips just to replace them.
