I use the footwell to rotate myself into the drivers seat. I will have to secure where everything clips on with electrical tape and then zipties. Thank for the tip!

Not louder definitely.

It just has a different tone up in high rpm. Can't really say it's deeper. It's just... different.

Oh, it's definitely better. Yes.

But man, you should DEFINITELY get it. The stock tips are fking pathetic to be honest.

The rear end looks SO MUCH BETTER.

I got the Perrin tips.

Very much needed for this car. It's not only the size of the stock tips that look so ugly, but they are also so far inward. Reminds of a shriveled up wee wee.

Yeah, Perrin or JDM. Doesn't matter. Both look great.

I just wanted them used. Got mine for $100. I'm happy!

I spent my day off plastidipping my stock wheels (to be installed when the mysterious thing called "Spring" finally appears).

Also plastidipped the dash trim (the silver just looked too cheap and blinding in the sunlight). Along the way, I lost a couple of those white plastic clips for the dash trim, presumably to rattle and drive me insane in the future.

I also dipped my fender trim, but in a slightly different way than I've seen in any other photos (so far)
I like it, but I need to clean it up a bit and perfect my technique to get it the way I want it.

Excuse the crappy cellphone pics

Did you also paint over the stamped plastic part? I like where you're going with this, but I think it'd look more "finished" if all the black there matched. If you really wanted to go a step beyond (ONE STEP BEYOND! hehe) you could use filler to smooth out that plastic and then paint it.


*Ok, now I have that song stuck in my head.
