Part number?

PSE exhaust tips refinished! Small project, but being 13 years old the exhaust tips were a bit rough. Had the inner piece finished in a matte black and the outer piece finished to match the wheels. I used a local gun cleaning company that does CeraKote finish work on firearms and other high heat applications. Overall I’m very happy with the work and I think it adds a nice finishing touch. Hoping they clean relatively easy!

Cleaned the radiators and installed Rennline radiator grilles. Also replaced the front lip again. The grilles fit really well.

Changed out the stock steering wheel and added a custom made windshield visor and hounds-tooth

Slowly making it "my" car.

Expensive but well worth it.

I dare say I am the only one has this in the U.S.
floor mats, both from Car Bone of Poland.
