That's the best part, it looks better in person than in pics. I wanted Crush, but couldn't find one how I wanted it. Crush is better in pics than in person.

I like the interior trim...where did u get the paint?

Was it hard? I'd love to do it but I'm afraid I'll mess it up!

looking good so far

why did you end up cutting down the exhaust spacers? a longer one is needed on one side to keep it in spec

I used red model paint. Spray painted the ring insert and used a brush for the inlay lettering and wiping the excess off with thinner on a paper towel. Used heat gun to dry. Took about an hour.

I had to cut pax side exhaust spacer to the same size as the driver's side for everything to line up. In fact, it's still about a 1/4" too long, but no leaks.

I'm finding my Dec 12 build 2013 is a little different than older ones. The exhaust, the pinch seam already at a 45 degree angle, the lighted cup holders, footwell lights............
