Looking amazing as always Tony. Good thing the film crew guild isn't on strike!
I liked the CTS too, but i'm looking towards a new vehicle next summer to use for commuting without any gas. This one (ELR) is comparable to the Camaro SS power wise Reminds me of a Lambo slightly too.

LMAO Thanks bud.
That's pretty good power wise. Looks pretty cool too for an electric car. Good luck!

Had some surgery done on the stock H-pipe.

Went from this:

To this, using 3" stainless steel pipe:

And both sides done:

The power seems the same, the sound seems to have gotten a bit deeper/growlier, and maybe 5-10% louder

For $120 it does a decent imitation of an aftermarket h-pipe I think, while not spending the $300+ that one of those goes for.

Installed the MMD Decklid Panel. Installation was pretty easy. Love that the rear has uniformity now.

Looks great Chris! I put one on my white 2007 GTCS and it really set it off too! A quality piece for sure!

Looking good. I am thinking of something similar that i could continue my stripes on. That shiny glossy thing just doesn't seem right.

Yesterday, but I finally replaced the stock shifter in the girlfriend's GT500 with the GT500KR piece.
Quite a bit firmer engagements, a bit shorter throws, and a much more positive 2-3 engagement, as the first on-ramp after the install showed
