I daon't want to be the A-hole but dispite the rareness and undoubtly the high spec quality of the exhaust it still sounds like a tractor...

Obviously my remark us totally unobjective but I like deep sounding exhaust notes and even though that is not a caracteristic of the rotary engine it can be done (I did with a downpipe OEM cat and custom 3" back box.

Now going for the old school twin pipe (front to back) from Knight Sports

nevertheless... great car!

I think it's the time of day/light. I didn't notice a color difference when I was checking the car out.

It's a good thing we didn't get pulled over or I could have completed the lyric with a pic "paroling they tryin to catch ridin me dirty"

theorie, i wish you would stop posting up picks of your car with those new led tail's. when i saw rich's car with them on it i didn't like them, guess it was just the red. but when i see it on your ssm, i'm like damn i need a set of those! the only thing that turns me off is the fact that the center doesn't seem to mach when braking. can you post pics from the rear while braking on yours for me?

thanks

now that i look back it looks like you were on the brakes in one of the shots from the last page. do you have the center light disconected?

nah they're on there correct. it looks different from usual because i have the street diffuser. they had to bolt up on top of the diffuser since it wraps around all the way to the wheel area.

check it out:

nope, not on the brakes in any of those pics. when you hit the brakes, the center circle area lights up also, and the 3rd brake light comes on. it's really hard to photograph tail lights when they are lit up and have them look the proper brightness/color. in real life the tails match the center section very well, though if you wanted you could replace the center's bulbs with LED bulbs - i know a few people have done that. i just didn't see any point in modifying the center section also because i think it looks good as-is.

here's a video of david hayes' car with my led tails installed. someone is pulsing the brakes in this picture to make the centers light up.

I guess since those are Mustang style wheels it kinda completes the V8 swap haha. I thought about going with those a couple years ago. They look pretty good! I like the color too, what is it exactly?

Damn that's pretty cool. It kinda reminds me of a space ship though with them all blinking like that, and then with the rings lol.

I believe he is referencing the difference in color..
It is close but you can see the difference in the Silver that is on the new parts vrs the rest of the car... Silver is always a hard color to match...
