Was late to work so I could take these pics:

Well, I know everybody posting a lot of pics lately but since it was such a nice day out today I took these pics before I left for work this morning. Just couldn't resist. Also, these will probably be the last pics I post before I add my new wheels.

Note: I just painted my calipers with Dupli-Color Red. I was skeptical at first but I think they turned out pretty good.

Not the best camera either, but I'll work on getting one of those as well.

Thanks. No, the guy I bought the car from had it professionally repainted Vintage Red a few years back. The paint is flawless though in my opinion. I'll have to call him and ask who did it because it's a pretty good job.

Looks great. Just like mine but my paint is not as nice. It's going to look sweet with the new wheels.

Yes, As Phil has so kindly pointed out (Thanks Phil! ) the RB Dual Tip Catback is installed and that is it in the pic. The Eibachs are installed as well....lowered my car a little over 1 inch all the way around. Everything in my sig is installed on the car.....I have other parts lying around in the garage though that aren't listed in my sig.

About your Racing Beat catback.......did you put that on, or was it already on the car when you bought it? That muffler used to come with the muffler body painted flat back. I like it that way. But in recent years I've noticed they've gone to an all silver look. So I'm curious if you know when your catback was purchased?

I will take closer photos of it and have them posted by this afternoon. But you are right, mine does not look like yours. The letters RB are stamped on top of each tip and only the tips are polished on this system. It is the RB dual-tip catback. I'll have the pics up shortly....will leave work and go get my camera

Mine does have the inner sleeves. They're just real thin and hard to see unless you're paying close attention. Anyway, here are the pics of my RB catback and my Eibachs and Tokicos: Oh, and I went home and jacked up the car to get some of the shots just for you guys who are curious about what I have.

Went to Deals Gap on the 8th and 9th of this month and got a day of rain and a day of sun and they performed like a dream. I was really impressed with how soon they felt like they were heated enough to stick in those tight twisties. I'll give them a
