Though yes its mean, but...that's why most people think of tcc being bunch of ricers. Ghetto/diy projects are cool but I'm almost willing to bet you this thing will get a spoiler or some unpainted body kit.
OP sorry to be so blunt but come on...
And yes I always say do whatever you think is nice and not what everybody else wants...but some things you just don't do to avoid the wrong attention

^TCC has the rep of being ricers because the members were a bunch of ricers. it's a new crowd tho... i'm actually curious the spin a domestic guy would have on an import...

I'm also a hater of dual exhaust on 4 cylinder cars.
But I must say, you did a decent job, and I respect that. At least you used a proper dual exhaust muffler and didn't just slap 2 pipes together. The tips look decent and almost oem. The sound is ok...I've heard much worse though...lol.
Don't listen to Scrid3r, he's just bitter...lol. jk.
You did a decent job, imo. The car looks good.
You should come out to the meet this week, I'd like to see the car.
I'm all about DIY and making things work that most people would say otherwise... So again, I have respect for that.

...So you basically damaged a nice clean ef and sold it to the wreckers...
You probably could have sold it for $1000, before you beat on it, to someone who needed it or would have taken better care of it. What a waste...

but he would have spent most of that extra $760 on a new hood and rear bumper if you factor in time spent on finding them and installing them.
That hood was a good defense against those calling himn a ricer though. Never seen carbon FIBBER on a ricer before!
