Still gotta touch it up a bit but I think it looks good for now.

What system is that? Looks nice and loud. Custom made?

I got distracted by the view! What was this thread about.......

oh yeah, Black tips.

I like it. :thumbsup: It looks really good. The exhaust is almost as cool as the water in your back yard. That's super sweet.

M7 Exhaust.
Gj on blacking it out

looks great! what kind of paint did you use?

Thanks everyone. Yes it's the m7 exhaust. I used the VHT Flat Black Header Paint.

Here's another view from the bar for ya...

Wow! What a great looking plce you have! (Especially today, we got 16" of snow over the weekend.) Also, I love your garage.

You lucky bastard! What a awesome house!
I like the black exhaust. Looks like a nice system

cool.:thumbsup:

-where did you purchase the header paint??
The only chrome left on my car are the my milltek tips.

I have dirt and few cacti in my backyard. I feel so special...:lol:

I appreciate you putting the palm trees to work. :grin:

Tips look good.

personally id worry about that inner right tire being bald

You lucky bastard, I wished I lived in Florida. Nice pad.

I painted my beer cans black recently but I wish I'd gotten to the mufflers & pipes like you did.

my tips look like that if i just don't clean them for a month or so. :razz:

I know it isn't my system, but:

One it looks awesome.
Two the backdrop for the photo is sublime.
Three for folks that haven't purchased a system yet and like the look above

Thanks for all the comments everyone! I got the paint at a local race shop. Everything seems to be holding up so far and I love the way it looks.

Wow, cool exhaust, but I admit, I really was not looking at it when you have such a beautiful view. I hate south dakota, Im so glad the Marines are sending me to Pendelton, even if its boot, it will be better than this hell hole.:thumbsup:

I did my tips a few weeks ago....love the results, but definitely saddened by the look of the still silver muffler...over the summer I will drop that out and paint the whole thing so its completely out of view

Sweet view. What lake is that you are on? Looks like it'd get pretty flat on a non-windy day. You ski/wakeboard at all?

Oh and, I like the way the tips came out. The stealth underbody look of the black mufflers/pipes looks good too.

Thanks! It's actually the Banana River in Merritt Island. I use to wakeboard back in the day but I'm not home enough to go out anymore since I've been at school in Winter Park.

Which school in Winter Park are you going to?

I lived in Winter Park for a little over a year & I still miss the Jazz & College radio stations.

nice tips, I went with Jet coating for the same look. I didn't know you could get a good quality high heat paint in a rattle can.

I go to Rollins College.

That's cool. I went to Full Sail while I was there.

Does that guy still do the kick a$$ rockabilly show on the Rollins radio station?
