    I like the idea of doing a big social meet at the beach sometime, preferably once my car is actually finished. Maybe make it like a little run, or something.

      Does anybody have a late model front bumper laying around for sale? The hit this morning busted my bumper and Im looking to get back on the road ASAP. Please PM me with what you got. Thanks guys

      Also, if anyone can make any recommendations for body shops. Not looking to get raped, I just need someone to pull my radiator support in line. Most of the shops I spoke to gave me astronomical quotes without seeing the damage. Starting to consider pulling it myself....

                    That is not the first time that has happened. I remember riding in that car after we got it out one night, mike was going down this backroad with a little hump for a creek, all i hear is crunch, scrape..... we tried to support it with speaker wire, but in the end we drug it about a mile back to his house.

                      wow this thread is still going.

                      I can weld the exhaust back on if you want.

                      Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

                        Thanks, but it was time for me to get a custom exhaust made for it. Just dropped it off this morning and I'll be going to get it in a couple of hours. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!

                          Is it light? Where, how much, and are you satisfied?

                              Just got back from MBS. It's pretty loud, but I've never had an exhaust done before. So I have to get used to it. they did a really good job. I used the SS replica headers, so where the piping and headers meet, it hangs a bit low still. I just need to downgrade to M3 springs anyways as this is my DD.

                              Greg at MBS did the whole exhaust today. Here are the specs:
                              -SS replica headers
                              -Custom Y-pipe to 2.5 inch Aluminized Steel (I know I tried to save some money but I doubt the pipes will rot out while I own the car)
                              -Magnaflow middle muffler, more 2.5 inch pipe
                              -Vibrant street power muffler ( Flat black with 2.5 in in and dual 3 inch out. The tips are a bit big for my liking, as I'd pretty dual 2.5's but this muffler seemed to be one that a lot of people have used and were happy with.

                              Hopefully on Saturday I can get some good pictures up.

                              Just sitting there and revving it, it is LOUD and sounds pretty good I think. It has a really deep growl that gets loud pretty fast. I am also not running a Cat.

                                It's definitely a lot lighter than stock and I am pretty satisfied. They charge a pretty penny, but I tihnk its worth it.
                                Total was $500 for piping, and labor. I brought the two mufflers to them and I already had the headers on the car.
