Thanks. Too much crap inside my garage and most if it from various builds. As soon as I can get #015 out of my garage and to V8Archie I can then see the light of day. LOL

That was my game plan, but my grandmother is in the hospital and that situation is causing me one gigantic headache due to relatives not coming together. Today was the day to polish the wheels and takes some good pics, but that too was a "no go" because a storm just passed through CA. The thought did cross my mind to switch the wheels which would've been faster.

It's turning out great, but I think the exhaust tips kind of retract from the exotic look of the car. I think you need something that matches the rest of the caliber of the car.

I agree, something like the magnaflow dual oval stainless tips would do wonders. Love the entire car though.. it's beautiful.

You are correct. However, the only modern pipes I like are the single wide and that would involve changing the bumper design were the exhaust is in the center. Besides, things are starting to clutter inside the garage and old stuff needs to go and those pipes are from 1999 from #011. LOL. I salvaged them and had WCF do their magic.

Nostalgic diggings resulted in finding my old #011 (original) tail pipes and the after market ones I had prior to the N* swap.

Back in the day I asked Kevin at D1S about that and he said that it wasn't enough room for dual ovals (the same style he carried). I was looking at it and said, "Hmm..." I would have gone that route if I hadn't did a 360 in Rockford after Katrina had pass through. I lost the single tip thus I only have three to work with and D1S is out of the business so I used the old after market tips that were sitting on the shelf. When #020 arrived at V8Archie I only had one tip.


Before:


After:


Maybe on the the next build, but #020 is done.

I personally like the tips on the car.

Not a fan of the oval ones,.... but to each his own.

This weekend was spent removing over spray from the engine compartment. I found out that one of the main screw used for the 350Z hatch is missing. I also had to figure out how to re-hook the wiring for the shop had disconnected the system and may have broken the wiring on the rear deck lid switch.
