paint ..... thats it really. Im going to stick with the white, i still need to put the other set of doors on, but paints last to do. I got a punch list of other things first.
I do need to get the 96 painted on the other hand. I keep putting that on the back burner

Dynomax sounds ok, I wish It was a little louder but not much.
Is it super turbo? 2 1/2 inch?
And Yeah, I have the same rims

The last thing you need is a loud exhaust. Running under the radar is so much better, especially when you're young.
