Looking to buying an aftermarket active exhaust for my non-AE car. Axle back preferred. Can pay shipping.
Also willing to trade with someone (plus cash on my side) if located within 100 miles of Tampa, FL.
I have a MBRP X-Pipe mated to a Solo Performance Street Race axle back with black tips...
Thanks for this. I was pretty close to just dealing with it. This thread has bolstered by confidence a lot to fight for the repair to be done right. Im used to driving hoopties so I'm used to just taking what I can get lol.
Oh yeah, by the end of the conversation and inspection he agreed that the color was off. Then started talking about ways he could blend the hood into the top of the bumper, respray the hood, completely respray the bumper, etc. I remained calm and made no accusations, just stated I was...
Update:
Went back to the shop, the technician I spoke with attempted to persuade me out of pursuing corrective action; said they will never be able to get it perfect. Tried showing me other vehicles in their lot with mismatched panels. I told him I understand where he is coming from, but that...
hey all, thanks for the traction and advice. called USAA, they told me they wont step in until i give the shop a chance to fix it themselves. completely understandable. i called the shop to ask when is best for them, they told me swing by this week.. and the painter was audibly upset. so i am...

it definitely looks better from certain angles, but from straight on it's very noticeable. but the feedback here has put me at ease a little. im not the happiest with it but i definitely understand how near impossible it is to get a metallic color to look identical. they're rarely identical from...
Just got my car back from a front bumper replacement after a deer ran out in front of me.
Am I being dramatic on the paint match? I know it'll never be perfect, but this is my first new car and Im not too sure how close they usually get.
If this looks good to y'all, Im fine. Just...
the ess, quality-wise, is years ahead. on3 has some fitment issues from my understanding and unless youre good with fab/used to working with on3 kits.. itll be a struggle. i too had this same dilemma, decided centri was best bang-for-buck.
nope, looks right.
heres 19x10 +25 with 285/35, -2 degree camber all around and lowered.
i think a lot of people over estimate ow big 1cm is. the difference between +35 and +25, while noticeable, is very small still.
