I'll pull it out after work tomorrow and take a few pics. It took me nearly four months to decide what color to paint, I seriously picked it out the week before I had to paint.

As promised, here are a few photos. Sadly the sun wasn't out, so it looks a bit darker and you don't get that metallic shine. I plan on polishing it up and taking more pictures in a few months when the weather is more agreeable. Plus, its dusty from sitting in the garage for a month.

Amazing look man.. Love that color. I also see that your rubber headlight seals dont come down from the hood onto the top of your projectors like they do on stock headlights.. mine do the exact same thing.. its not a big deal but since I can see the side seal.. seeing the top seal in alignment with it would look better. Curious if this is common with everyones projectors?

Fantastic colour. I saw one that colour around here a little while ago and have been drooling over it. After some thought, I have planned to go a little darker. But close to that.

After the paint and headlights, I put in a new intake. The plastic casing on my PRM filter was cracked. So I bought a probe intake off ebay and a K&N filter, also added a heat shield but its bigger than I expected so I'll probably take it off if it rattles.

I am still using the stock headers so I was looking on ebay for some, there are tons on there for about 130 with shipping. I read the header faq and did some searching, but there is no real info on these cheap headers, just hotshots/OBX/SSautochrome. Has anyone tried these? quality/fitment?

Most ppl have em, the fitment is meh.. might be a PITA to line up right but they work.

They are, however, not bolt on. You will need to get your cat moved back about 8" to get em to fit as they are all designed for probes, nothing a exhaust shop cant do for cheap.. run open headers to the shop :D
