Default Couple pics of the new caddy
Well I figured I'd show you what I got. It has a clear bra on it that I want to take off, and the grille should be powdercoated black by the end of the month.





I'll get some nicer photos once the grille is done and I have a little time to take it somewhere nice.

Cheers!

Leave the clear bra! Rock chips suck. Looks great though (needs some better exhaust tips)!!

Looks nice bro!! And keep the clear bra! Much better than a rock chipped front end. What color interior? Looks identical to mine on the outside! Lol lovin the black!!!

For exhaust, get a magnaflow. Tips look awesome! Or... A corsa or b&b it you wanna spend some $$$.

Is it a stock exhaust or did the just weld the stock tips onto some aftermarket mufflers? Either way I would go with some 4" Magnaflow rolled tips.

Wish mine had black interior but for what I paid for my car, the interior could be lime green for all I care. Lol it's about $700 to swap black carpet and seats in place of my tan if I ever want to since doors panels and everything else is already black. Might do it eventually

4" mag tips are perfect man. They look sexy in the bumper cutouts. Any bigger would be coffee cans and any smaller looks dinky... Lol

4" is what comes with the Magnaflow, Corsa, and B&B Cat backs.

Thats very similar to what I have. Same design, but not Magnaflow and a little longer. I need to take new pictures of the back and post them up. 4" is the perfect size for the V1.
