Shiny mufflers are pretty but they increase the risk of grabbing the wrong person's attention.

Here is an Espelir cat back.


On a black car it becomes a focal point, especially when the angle of the sun is just right and it becomes a mirror.




Muffler was sanded down with fine grit paper


Then masked off things and painted with Krylon $4 flat black bbq paint.







It's almost invisible in the sun now, just like the blacked out front mount and projectors. Ez's tip of the day is: do this.

You, sir, are the man. What a great idea.

This.

Awesome. You need to update your picture Ninja.

Looks good, sucks you have to paint over nice shiny parts just to keep the cops off your back

I see this being doing in my near future. Just one more relic to add to the CBCC.

LOL... I knew you couldn't resist.

Are you back in the IE permanently? Holla mang.

Hehe, you were definitely the inspiration for this one K :) Now I just have to smog the bish again.

Yea I'm back in Cali permanently. When I get my new place we should have a BBQ, speaking of BBQs.

Looks great!

Thanks guys. I love it -> was walking back to my car today from the grocery store and the 2g looked like a little stealth fighter in the parking lot. It just sinks into the shadows.

I wish I could do this but im sure white would stay dirty as hell

Keep this updated within a month or two. I'm curious of how it would hold up over time.

It did get a little scraped up when they inserted the probe for the smog sniffer test. That's OK because the rattle can is still 1/2 full of touch-up potential. And the best news is - SHE PASSED SMOG }(

Per your request, 4 months have passed, and it looks exactly the way it did right after I painted it. It's all in the prep work IMO. The paint technology takes care of the rest.

Got any extra paint left over? I need to do that to the greddy if I'm gonna put it back on.
