seems like a good buy to me!

cant beat the price!

and it all depends on how u wanna do it...a quick shot of paint at maaco shoudnt run u too much for just those parts...u can do a whole car for $300, if u just want a matching paint job....

why flowmaster though? i went from a racing muffler to a stock muffler with a 4.5 inch tip for looks, and it's still loud...sizing up the pipes should have been enuf to make noise and still yeild gains...

i went flowmaster because the muffler on there was an annoying sounding one from autozone, and the flowmaster one only costed me 15 dollars....i bought it from a friend that was going to put it on his accord....but then he got t-boned....and i didnt have money to buy a stock muffler...

actually i have the kuhmo supra 712s on my car...been in rain and they grip fine (they even gripped pretty good that one day chicago had stupid snow/rain day a week ago) so they arent that bad...as for road noise...i cant hear them over my subs :D

for a grand i think it looks like a great car. once you get the stuff painted and throw on those wheels you want it'll look a lot better. keep us updated on its progress.
