Fish eye pics bother me... They're okay to a certain point and then they just get annoying. But that's just me.

Car looks good :thumbs up.

Silver Bullet is officially back on the road! She just got outtifitted with a new exhaust. 2 and a half inch straight up from the header to the fart can. Tuesday were gonna tilt it. I think I'm gonna lower it too, or is that stupid?

Alright homies I'm back with updates and pictures. The Silver Bullet is finally ready for winter beatin'!

Here's some shots of the exhaust. 2.5" straight from header under axle to fart can. Super ricey sounding at high rpm, but nice low rumble under 4k.





And now for the only existing visual damage.





Some bay shots? I got an intake setup at work, had to replace the battery and I bought her some 12000k HID's. They're bright purple but you can't tell in the photos.







And a couple randoms.





And now for some high vs. low.











Wheel gap for days! So anyway, the green Civic will be stored away very soon. My parents just bought a new house with an 8 car garage. Stay tuned for that. Peace guys enjoy the pics.

must admit, i miss the bullet.
and the exhaust doesn't look terrible, i kinda like how it tilts up, yours tilts up maybe a little too much, but its a winter beater, a damn nice one at that!!

why would you buy 12k hids and go under your axle when it is made to go above?

Cause I like being different man. HKS and another company I can't think of make under axle cat backs. But me and my buddies at Midas were dicking around and decided we do it like that haha. Looks good I think. The lights look good too. I'll see if I can take a better picture soon.

The night they were installed, I passed I wanna say 2 or 3 city cops, and 1 statey, no pull over or anything. As far as I know deep blue and any red are the only colors illegal for headlights in New Hampshire.

well hid's are technically illegal to start with unless put into projectors and in most states purple is illegal. its kinda like tint, some will pull you over some wont. just dont be surprised if you are

id be more concerned with not being able to see any thing with those lights. Above 4300k-5000k, visibility drops.

nice progress regardless

Yeah I know what you're saying. The purple looks good and my visibility is good suprisingly. The only time it gets challenging is during heavy rain. But I have another set of 10000k if I need to swap them out.

Well guys. I haven't updated in a while. The HID's ended up blowing a wire apart. Turns out while the car was sitting some of them got weathered and hard while the hood was up for a few days. So we had to rig up the wiring for now and I put stock bulbs back in. I miss the bright purple! But, I been having some experimental fun with her. X'd the headlight, threw on a tow hook toy, painted the steels bright purple, but now I really really wanna lower it. Bad idea eh?

Anyway, here's a teaser shot.
