Before and after...

TurboLaal · 11-07-2009, 04:05 AM

Hi Everyone,

Well, I finally got around to getting my stock wheels painted the color I've had brewing in my mind for a while now. The color is actually a 04' mustang cobra metallic grey color, I just love this color...I even painted my car trailer this color

I also got a chance to install the suspension I've had since March, the car looks pretty mean now! Enjoy!

Russ

P.S. The center caps are painted but I didn't install them yet because I am waiting to get my arena red paint from the dealer so I can color in the "turbo" script and tie everything together

nice!, are your windows tinted? looks like you've changed your exhaust/tips too.

looks great russ...

my 2 cents...do the lugnuts as well...

Tuner1 · 11-07-2009, 01:17 PM

It looks good. I agree that new lug nuts would freshen up the look.

What brand of exhaust do you have?

Very nice! That color will help to "hide" the brake dust dirt too. Well done.

TurboLaal · 11-07-2009, 05:56 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Yes the windows are tinted (20% all around).

The exhaust is the AWE test pipes with the silencer cones cut off...it is pretty fricken loud...I love it!

I agree, I need to order up some new lugs to really finish the look, the ones on there have 88,000 miles of use on them...its time

Have you experienced any lost back pressure or turbo over spinning/revving?

My understanding is that the AWE muffler/cat bypasses are patterned after the Porsche Motorsports units. And there is a reason for the design.

I would ask Mike/AWE what he thinks?

TurboLaal · 11-07-2009, 09:26 PM

It was my understanding that the cones were put on there just to suppress noise? I know that when I cut the cones off the car did get noticably louder; I actually made the tips modular and have it set so the end of the cones can be reinstalled with relative ease and quiet it down slightly...

Do you have any pics of the pipes and cones. Curious.

Phil,

I'm away from my computer till tomorrow night, I'll post up some pics with the cone section installed on the exhaust...it works pretty well and it almost looks like an intercooled tip.
