I love Carmon Red - was going to pull the trigger on one myself a couple of years ago, but it didn't work out. Great combo with the Grey roof - it is beautiful. Enjoy!

Very interesting color, I have NEVER seen one before.

One think I suggest is to paint the center console exterior color, would tie everything together nicely!

And yes, it is a grey top -- the color combo I was looking for.
Beauty! Thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking... In fact I'm currently waiting for one from Bumperplugs! I'll post pics when it arrives, but I think it is over a month away still.

not a big cab fan..... but yours is simply stunning. well done.

the x51 headers will add a deeper tone to the exhaust note. ive always thought tubi were high pitched to begin with---- particularly on the f-cars so i think you'll be pleased with the balance.

here's a solution to the front license plate dilemma :

Thanks for the suggestion Keith, I'll definitely consider the swift plate mount... I have the tow hook mount and I just can't get used to it being off center -- this looks better.

The tubi sound has changed considerably over the last few days and now is closer to what I was hoping for. I've experienced this before with high end speakers, but never with exhausts!

My last car had PSE but I wanted to try something different and the tubi definitely has a distinct sound, but it requires high revs to get there. I may still go X51 for multiple reasons though...
