I installed a GMMG catback today and I love it! I was actually expecting it to be a bit louder than it is, but the tone is absolutely perfect. I'll have to get a video clip when it isn't so hot out.

Thanks, the flat-black really gives it some attitude but I ended up peeling the hood stripes off since they looked like crap and the spray lines were too easily visible.
Found out I can get flat-black Ram Air hood vynl for like $50 so I'm going that route ( since plasti-dipping the hood for a 3rd time is NOT on my list of to-dos )
I may redo the spoiler though since it looks kind of blotchy.
After that, cosmetically, the only thing left is to replace the ugly rims come tax season. I'm going to use these for snow tires. So come March, I'll be in the market for some 96-00 style WS6 rims, maybe something different.

Today I shamelessly pimped out my car in this thread. Please vote for my car (or at least a TA of our choice) in the August picture of the month vote!

I'd definitely love for it to be louder, I just know that when adding longtubes it gets raspy and changes the tone of it. I've seen the thread about getting rid of the rasp with the gmmg exhaust and I'd probably do longtubes, catted y-pipe and a powerstick in the I-pipe. My only concern with that is how much does it change the tone of the exhaust because I love the way it sounds now, just wish it was a bit louder.

After washing her up yesterday I went cruising around with the tops off and decided that the bath just wasn't enough. So I stopped by wally world on the way home, picked up some supplies and did the CETA mod. I think it turned out decently well considering I've never done any type of auto paint work before. Not to mention it's from a rattle can. I am considering doing this to the side mirrors and sail panel as well.

I'm replacing my turn signal switch and wiper switch. Replaced the turn signal switch back in June, I believe, and a couple weeks ago the turn signal stalk just fell out. I dug into the steering column and a little metal clip off the switch was twisted and broke, so I got all the parts, and now I get to put it back together.
