I didn't feel like tucking it away more, I still want to though. just requires me to cut and weld more. big pita.

i normally dont like the avs covers, but they look good since your car is black.... the muffler is huge, but its not so bad since its black and your car is black... kinda murdered out theme, so its not so obnoxious as the same style but stainless.. its coming around.. i guess haha...
fwiw i went through two axles and two stock motor mounts from accelerating hard with my H&R springs... the motor mount would snap, and when the motor dropped, the angle was probably worse than your cut spring setup, causing the axles to rip out. I got OTTP rotated mounts, and the TTR solid mount; new axle, axle bearing and midshaft was replaced by dealer thank god... havent had a problem since and the feeling of the motor is great!

rustoleum rattle can. the whole thing costed me 20 bucks minus the tools and sand paper. it was simple. with a 5 inch orbital sander I used 100 grit to take down the powder coat/curb rash, 220 to make it smooth, primer, a few thin coats of gold, wet sand with 600, a final coat of gold, 2 decent coats of rattle can clear coat and there ya go.
