Ended up removing the driveshaft to get balanced at a local shop. Guy looked at the adapter and basically refused to work on it. Oh well! However, upon reinstalling, the vibration is gone! Score 1 for me!
Paint finally came in this week and I got the side mirrors and rear bumper painted to my satisfaction, however the rear trunk lid came out very uneven. I'd ordered from a different supplier this time, so with a heavy heart I ordered from ScratchWizard again. Let me give a little review...
ScratchWizard.net:
And the trunk lid that didn't turn out quite right...
So now I'm waiting on another can of paint to come in to get the lid finished. But in the mean time, I had a coupe more exhaust pieces come in. I had a hell of a time finding a 3" inlet dual outlet tip that would do a good job of mimicking the stock exhaust, so I ended up just ordering separate parts to make my own. The space will be a little tight and I'll have to cut all these pieces down, but think it'll look pretty buff when it's done! 3" inlet and dual 2.25" outlet y-pipe and two 2.75" inlet 3.5" outlet exhaust tips.
Plan to get this welded in tomorrow am and then some new exhaust videos for you guys that afternoon!
