looks great man! Only thing I would have changed would have shaved the other muffler bump on the rear cover. the plug looks a little mehh. but then again, it might look goofy with the hump on one side and just the rib going across to nowhere. i dunno. killer car though. simple, clean well done… love it dude! ---

So all you dual exhaust lovers will be happy to know i just ordered an Invidia Dual Q300 exhaust with the stainless steel tips. These exhaust are significantly quieter than my current apexi and gives a great sound. I feel pretty good about them since i’ve seen / heard them in person already. ---

**5/16/2011** Did a few small things yesterday… Installed a CF center console wrap from finer liners. Really like the way this looks as opposed to the ap1 carpet trim. All i need now is a ap2 center console and radio door and i’m done with the interior, that and get my other sparco installed in the car. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0905.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0905.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0919.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0919.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0922.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0922.jpg) Installed an iphone mount and wired my ipod plug through the radio door vents.
