Default Before & After pics of my new baby

I know it's customary for new members/users to post pics of his/her p-car but i've been really busy and lazy, more of the later. I'm going to try to take some good pics real soon. I've attached a few quick shots of my car before and after my first mod.. Can anyone guess what it is?

I see shinier tips that about it. Your after pictures are terrible, it too hard.

Hmm... lets see?!? Was this the first time you've driven your car in the rain? Or did you put some Rejex on and checked how water beads?

what's tacky? what rubber are you referring to?

I've only added the fabspeed and BMC filter so far..

keoni - yeah I know, I had just washed the car and it was getting dark.

Did you get the Fabspeed muffler with tips or just the tips? It's really hard to see in the pictures. BTW, nice tag (although that was the same in the before and after photos.)

I was never really good at those "spot the difference" games and I prefer my before and after pictures to be pretty straightforward like the one below. Next time try to shoot the before and after pics at the same angle (and during the day.)

Nice.. where did you get the badge?

about the pics, i was just messing around.. The only change i've made so far to the car was installing the clear markers and fab cold air kit and filter, which cannot be detected from the pics. The exhaust is still stock.. I think i'm going to go with the ghl (c4s surgeon) talked me into it.. The b&m ssk is on its way..

I did fo the cgt key wanna see that? ahhaha

Hey RedDuck,

I bought the silver Carrera emblem from Performance Products. As you can see from my picture, the black emblem is hardly visible on my Ocean Blue Metallic car. The silver emblem stands out nicely.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the Fabspeed tips and for how much? Autothority in Fairfax was selling them for $300/pair but I don't want to pay that much just for tips.

Cheers,

No, your car looks great in its original color.
