Looks good except for the damn front plate mount. Why do dealerships feel they have a right to put their crappy Billboards on a nice clean body line? If they had done that to mine I wouldn't have taken it, not unless they want to pay me a fee like in NASCAR

I remember seeing one like that before for Civics or something. It said Neuspeed on it I think.

The car looks good. Can't wait to see what's in store. How's that muffler sound?

Muffler sounds great. loud in high rpms, Great roar with the 3inch Piping from the cat, the cannister itself is big not the tip.

That was just like when I had my exhaust on my Accord. It sounded amazing in the high rpm's. In the low it sounded alright. But mid and high were incredible. It was a Ractive fireball one. Probably slightly smaller than yours. It was cool though.

I actually like how the stock SS's sound, but since I'm cursed with an auto, the revs drop most of the time before it ever sounds great.

Yeah... Well... I have NO antenna... What now?!

: P

Do those shorty antennas work well on our cars? On my Honda it sounded and looked like crap, so I just got a new Honda one...
