@Mikey, looks good. 'Damage' seems prety minimal, I guess just a matter of keeping an eye on things.

Since I am planning on putting some type of lip kit back on the car(Xenon), the mufflers will be pretty much hidden. Although there will be a time that there will be no lip kit on there.

For those asking, this is pretty much what it looks like right now. Roof rack is on it now, but not really any different than this pic.

LOL, there will be one on the other side soon too. Just as mint looking. That was the last wash the car had that day.

Have to upload the pics of the other side.

So, you like wine? :lawl:

The rich donors at this fundraiser I've been planning love wine. And I'm going to pick up all of our partially donated beer next week. So much free booze :beer2:

The wine and beer (along with a bunch of food) are for the VIP reception before the event itself. Only big donors are invited. 90 people expected at the VIP event, 600 at the actual one. I've been planning it since last April.

On the exhaust topic, here's more pics...

The tips. Mirrored.

The mufflers. Shiny and reflective but not very mirrored.

And the "damage" that the steel wool did to the inside of the tips. Minor scuffs, nothing serious.

Needs more polish !! Use 1500 and then 2000 and if its available there, 2500 grit sandpaper then polish it with whatever compound you have, it'll get rid of all those little specks and lines . It'll bring it to a more smooth and reflective surface.. If you can be bothered haha.

^ just as a reference. One 3000 grit 6x2 ish piece of wet sand paper is $7. Autozone sells all those ridiculously high grits but I believe 3k is the highest.

But I agree
