The only problem with that is EVERYBODY and their mom has the Borla/FP system(s).
Yeah. This is my 4th borla. Just been happy with them. Almost went corsa but just stuck with what I knew. There are not a lot of loud stangs here that I have run into. Same with camaros. It’s like no one changes the exhaust.
what are you doing hanging around behind people? You're supposed to be in front of everybody.
why would you? Factory exhaust sounds just fine. If you have AE it's even finer. I only put the Steeda H-pipe and Borla/FP street on mine because it was being sold at a loss and I was curious what all the hubub was about. Yes I like the result, but would I do it to the next GT? Probably not.
The stripe that is on there now was from BigWormGraphix. It’s their version of the Mach1 style hood stripe but I’ve since removed the outer pin stripe as I thought it was too close to my scoops. Also I screwed up the install on it a little so I’ll be replacing it in the near future with some matte 3M wrap that I’ll be doing myself.Is it just my eyeballs or is the end of the stripe not symmetrical? Where it starts to taper in.
To me, the stripe looks like a giant tongue depressor. If it were my car, I wouldn't shape the front of the stripe. Just run it all the way out to the grill. You can still do the pony where you have it and I think it would look awesome.
Forgive my terrible photo editing skills but this is what I was thinking:
Haha, true! I try to be out front but somedays are better than others. In general, the whole damn Cars & Coffee/car show scene has the 2-3 standard exhausts for the s550 platform.
Aren't you supposed to weed the stencil so the white shows through?Played around with some vinyl and my wife’s Cricut machine while I’m waiting for my roll of knifeless tape to show up to re-do the hood. It’s a gloss black logo on satin right now, so it stands out in the right light but disappears from some angles. I kinda like it, and it would keep the running horse up front when I eventually switch out my grille.
Stock are pretty worthless, they weigh a few ounces and the magnets are about the size of a quarter. Replace them and they sound great.
I wanted the horse in gloss to see what it would look like over matte black. I’ve also though of putting it under the vinyl next time I do the stripe so it is embossed. Looking for a subtle accent, not a bold logo
That's very funny cause I thought of a giant tongue myself. Looks way better in this picture.Is it just my eyeballs or is the end of the stripe not symmetrical? Where it starts to taper in.

I like your stripe. And I think it would look great if you can have the horse imbossed in the strip like you described.
Yep, that is what I am fixing to go drop the car off for. Getting JL audio component speakers inside the cabin, and a punch 1000 amp. I doubt removing them really helps with bass by leaving a hole, put some nice 2 ways in there instead.
