Hey dannyp,

Finally got around to getting some pics of my hardlid water proofing for you. It doesnt stop all water, but keeps the majority of it out when washing. Put it on along the front the whole width of the back window, and on the side as you can see. When the lid is closed you cant see it at all.

Love the car, Love the rims! As for the catback, I've gotten a catback system put in for $550, mine was a 2.5" though, can't see why it'd jump up $1000 just for .5" of space, Although I got mine done in Sydney, don't know what the difference will be where you're at though,

Keep us posted with future mods! Im quite interested! :)

Thanks for the kinds words mate! Holy **** 550 is cheap as! Is that for the system including install? I am leaning towards a 2.5 seeing as its cheaper and im not looking to do any major power mods.

Wht brand is yours?

Yep will do i will definately keep the updates coming as they come.

$550 got me everything installed, it was 2.25" from the cat to the mid muffler, then 2.5" from the mid muffler to the rear mufflers, It's an XFORCE Cat back,

If you are in western sydney I'll direct you to the place that I got mine done from?
