Unhappy A sad, sad, sad day.

Well, guys. It's a sad day. My dreams of revolutionizing the Crossfire exhaust market died today. My two year (and one week) long project of specialty carbon powder coated pipes was crushed. <a moment of silence>















I went to RickZ's place and put my new steering stabilizer on, and Rick cleaned my exhaust!!

I guess he just couldn't take it. Thanks Rick!

Before we knew it, those pipes were shiny and we had painted the interior flat black. I've included a photo showing the pipes AND my license plate, so that FP, Crispy, Chas, and everyone else at Carlisle 2009 can see I'm not fibbing and just posting a pic of Rick's immaculate car.

For anyone that is interested, I can still sell you the secrets of the specialty carbon powder coated exhaust... PM me.

They'll never believe you Tom They'll have to see it in person, better keep them clean.
And a big thank you to Tom "the keymaster" for the new panic button on my old key

On both my Crossfires I have noticed that the driver's side exhaust tip gets dirtier quicker than the passenger side.....anyone else notice this?

When I purchased my 2005, black limited coupe, 6 weeks ago, the exhaust tips were black with exhaust soot. With only 6,800 miles, I guess no one had ever cleaned them.
It took me about 45 minutes to get them showroom clean again, now after every trip I wipe them clean to eleminate a larger problem later.
