Exhaust before and rusty ass midpipe (painted the exhaust tip because it was scuffed and had some black plastic melted on it... after sanding it smooth it left scratches so i painted it a low gloss/almost flat black... it was inspired by the apexi noir exhaust.. love the color, not too sure how it will look on the car or if i want to finish painting the muffler aswell (mostlikely wiill))
