So, revealing how little I know about cars, it turns out that my exhaust actually has a hotdog already. My mate told me fitting another would likely make it drone more, so I guess I'm going to have to get used to it. Been a little over a week since the exhaust was fitted.
Guess I'll save my pennies and get a Perry. |

No worries, I figure we should probably set it in advance so we can be organised. And thanks. If you look closely, you can see the average photoshop I did on the paint scratch on the front bumper, hahaha. |

Cost the same money for a KL swap as it would for a turbo upgrade. Have looked very seriously into both options. KL actually comes in at more expensive and wayyyyyy more of a pain in the ass than the turbo.

/dreams. But if someone offered me the choice, I think I'd go KL just for the torque and V6 reppin'. I know I'm probably wrong, but I'd rather look after an N/A "other engine" than a turbo, even on a safe tune. That just seems "safer" to me. But also the fact that if I went turbo, I'd probably want to do a manual conversion as well... |

Who doesn't like shiny haha. Mine are tucked under the rear bumper so I dont really care how dirty they get... I will be changing them to something a little more nicer though

Now that I think about it, maybe I should just paint it black and save myself the trouble! Unless the gunk inside the exhaust is less black than the black paint...

This is a possibility i may consider... just mask up the outer part of the tip (the bit you want shiny) mask up rear bumper and spray inside the muffler heatproof black. mmmmm, job for the weekend me thinks

Probably a job that will end up on the "eventually, if ever" list for me.

SP20 front bar and side skirts are on the way from Rupe!
Buuut it'll be a while before I can afford to put them on. IIRC the skirts are black though, so I might see if I can get them on just for sh*ts and giggles. |

You are also going to need the inner guard liners off a SP20 to be able to correctly fit the front bumper IIRC.

Efficient!
Holy sh*t! That was quick. Now to wait until I have enough money to get them painted and fitted, and gather all the little bits and pieces to put them on.
