Yes it is. Mine is lying in the garage too ;)

[whitestivo]

Was there a reason you chose press bent then?

I have gone with Mandrel bent as that's what that car came with, even though it was more expensive

Something I missed?

I couldn't find a good enough reason to pay that much more. Remember that I live in Perth and suffer price hikes because of where I live. If my car was turbo, then yes I would of gone mandrel bent. For reference my 2.5" cat back system with Xforce MP02 stainless oval muffler and resonator cost me $350 installed. Getting mandrel bends would have meant that they bends would have had to been ordered, and that the price would be well over $500. Not worth it for a 1-2kw gain.

Saving money for other things ;)

unless that money saved is for a supercharger im gonna say u should have paid for the bend :P :P :P :P :P

nice car btw

[whitestivo]

fair enough, but whatever your after, your always going to be running a more restrictive system than stock now

question here, would a 2.5: press bent flow better than a 2.25: mandrel bent?

your car is terrific.

Thanks mate. I would think that it is flowing better than the stock system as stock is slightly smaller than 2.25". I'm assuming at the bends its reducing from 2.5" to 2.25" so if anyone can tell me how restrictive my system is from the pics please let me know.

Amateur photoshoot with a crappy camera <_<

And my fav pic...

[daviboy]

yep, that is 1 crappy camera. Na good shots, maybe edit them with photoshop 2 get some good effects out of them... Thats y i went and bought myself a DSLR jst for kicks, cos the photos out of a normal digi cam came out so dark.

BTW, i contacted freddy from topstage, he said he had posted my eyelids but never received a confirmation from aus post. Now his sending another 1 out, Almost 3 weeks its taken and there in melbourne!

[Kenneth]

ur car is crying :( poor thing.. what did u do to it!

abit of light and those shots would have been PERFECT but hey! good work :)

[Phat]

nice shots, jus a question, is there a reason why your front bar looks off colour to the rest of the car?

[Kenneth]

his front bar were repainted if im not mistaken..

[Jay.]

andy, i think your right headlight is starting to fog up

[Lunjiaow]

its just a bit of love juice from some random looking at his car...

It was so happy to be clean. They were happy tears

If you look more closely my side skirts and rear bumper and spoiler are the same as my front bar. I'm assuming it is because those parts are plastic?

No my front bar only had touch up jobs. No full respray.

andy, i think your right headlight is starting to fog up

It was fogging up because I just finished cleaning my car. I don't run the headlight covers.

Haha. Don't people learn that they should carry some tissues in their pockets. :P

[and1]

Ok guys, just an update.

Finally repainted my eyelids and put them on.

Also I was bored sooo... I removed my rear seats ;) :P

Ahh much more boot space now

And a good weight reduction..

Will get some pics :)

[and1]

Well here are the pics of the eyelids :)

And the empty void from where my seats used to be

And removing my rear seats has raised my rear by a bit.

Thanks. I tried to follow the C-one theme but I'm missing a real cf bonnet <_<

[Kenneth.]

Looking schmick Andy. But isn't your passenger side eyelid sitting too high up?

Keep it coming mate, top effort!

[doriae86]

[keifer33]

[daviboy]

At least you have them now. Don't forget to get the chips bogged up. I had little chips on the surface and didn't know until I sprayed it :( . Hence why I redid them.

I wanted to get some new plates but the ones i wanted were taken and every other one i thought up was taken too <_<

[Leroy]

Dude, I love the eyelids... but I'd love them even more if they lined up with the natural lines of the rest of the car...

The silver needs to come in a bit more.
