And I get what you mean, I think the silver contrast inside will look really classy when you change it. Can't wait to see it!



At first I was wondering this as well, because I face the same dilemma (garage I was squatting in is no longer available), but then I remembered it looks like he has one at work and he also works on his parts indoors at the dinner table??

So i went onto ebay about a month ago and found a company/seller named BoltonBits he is from the UK and he sells mini driving lights that are replicas. I got them in gloss black. they took them awhile to ship, but when they got here it was worth it... for under 100 bucks.

So I ordered up the OBX cat back exhaust Version 2 and i got it in the mail. It was very fast shipping. Taking it out of the box my first impression was wow, it was very well made and crafted the welds looked good and it was strong. then i started to just play around with it on my floor lining it up with the flanges and things looked a little funny. So i decided to bring it to an exhaust expert instead of my laying on my back for 3 weeks trying to install it... I dropped it off and about 2 hours later he called.

He said it didn't go on to well but he made it work. The "S" bends near the tips that connect to each muffler didn't fit around the battery box... so he had to cut and weld a little bit for it to get all lined up.

I take it back to him monday to see if he can push the tips in farther behind the bumper and line them up better.

for the price (350.00 shipped) its honestly not bad at all than 80 bucks in labor i feel it was worth it.

















Here is a sound clip of just staying still.

Dont mind the end of the video.....haha you can see in the vid how the tips stick out a little more than i want them too. and how the right tip is crooked a little. ill get those fixed.

I've always loved the body of the cc , so sleek and sexy , even better when It's been dropped like that , are your lights functional? By that i mean are they wired through with the fog lights or how did you get them to work? I love the look
