Just regular wash and then wax. Just need to clean the extra wax off the side. When I get time I am going to paint the black portion over again. Because its pretty worn down on the sides.

Somewhere on the freeway I suppose lol. Was missing one when I bought it and the other one fell shortly after. Plan on replacing them if I ever find a good pair of mufflers at pick and pull. or eventually get some Racingbeat gear =P

I don't know. Here in TN they're pretty lenient about most things (half of our counties, like mine, don't even require testing), but 5-6 years ago after I bought my first nice car (92 240SX) they got onto me for having a rust hole in the muffler saying it can leak carbon monoxide and all this crap. I was only 18 at the time so I was all like "Oh no! I have to fix it!" Now I know that it would put out just as much smog from the rust holes as it would the tip of the exhaust. Geniuses...

Nice!!! I love some clean S4s. Keep it up, and I think a Racing Beat exhaust will replace those missing tips quite nicely

I think so too =P. It took me purchasing an s5 to realize I love the s4 body so much more... heck I even had the guy switch the lights back to s4 when I bought it XD.

I was thinking of getting one of those universal tips (one that could fit in the hole) putting JB putty around it and shoving it in as a temp solution... but I figured that money could go to the RB fund XD

I don't get it, there are so many people on here who like the S4 more. What am I missing, what about the S4 do you like more. The S5 is just so much more sexy! Sorry to disagree but when they're next to eachother, I can't see one part I like more!

I think the S4 just looks more 'classic'. I don't really know how to describe it. Don't get me wrong, I like the S5 very much as well. But if I could only have on FC, it'd be an S4.

Well for me personally, I love the black trim more, and the bumper as well. Just something but the overall look. I just like the more "Classic" look. In those particular pictures as well I actually even like the mirrors on the s4 more. The S5 seem to kind of balloonish.

Everyone has their preference though right lol its why we all drive sevens after all =P
