Well i havent gotten a chance to really check into this but i think the exhuast is bad on my car. Its got a leak some where, tommorow im going to get under it and look. I think im going to get the bonez race pipe with pre silencer and replace the rest of the exhuast later when i get more money. Hopefully this will fix any problems i have. I still have $500 out of the loan left maybe i can use some of that money to buy it.

Gaskets are cheap and easy to fix, The pipe would be nice to bolt on as well.

thats nice, did you use spray paint from a local store, or did you have a shop do it, if you did that yourself what did you use to cover where the light shows through? looks sweet

Light only shines thru where the lenses are on those tailights, no where else, he used masking tape or fine line masking tape to keep the paint off that area if thats what you meant? And that would be a pro thing, not a spray can thing. I painted my tailights as well, but mine are the older style, they were all crackly and ugly, now they are shiny new black like the rest of the trim

Yeah, fine line tape works best, I also masked between the brake light and turn siginal seam as well. The lenses are a two piece part, if you try and bridge the joint w/ finish, there's a possibility of a "check" problem developing from vibration over time. A light scuff w/ scotch brite, mask 'em off, shoot em a few times, scuff em again after un-mask, and then 4 coats of clear over entire lens face. After curing a little buff and wax and they're good to go.
