: My sweet shadow.
Starscream 04-24-2008, 04:50 PM Here's my beautiful Emily Rose. I decided to clean her up and make her look amazing. Anyways, I haven't done much to her yet. Changed the muffler with a dynomax Ultraflo. I'm in the process of uploading the video I made of how she sounds. Besides that I'm just biding my time until the summer really kicks in.

Ricer-X 04-24-2008, 04:55 PM your wheels look SICK!!!!!
X~Terror 04-24-2008, 04:59 PM I love them damn rims:i-love-you-big:
Drake 04-24-2008, 05:13 PM Very nice! So fresh and so clean! hahaha
Looks really good bro. :thumbsup-big:
Starscream 04-24-2008, 05:18 PM Thanks guys. I actually got the her with those rims, didn't paint them myself. All I've done so far is touched them up. I plan on putting on some bigger shoes in the following week. I think I also might do the same thing you did drake and paint the bumpers since mine have some nice sun damage on them.
Drake 04-24-2008, 05:26 PM Aww man if you painted the bumpers in that satin finish and the fairing, Emily would be pure rolling EVIL!!! I think that would look kickass!
Ricer-X 04-24-2008, 05:29 PM As Do I
Starscream 04-24-2008, 05:30 PM Just the look I was going for! :-D Inspired by Drake!

Ricer-X 04-24-2008, 06:27 PM i just thought of a really sweet way to paint my wheels, and i just might do it
jman2000 04-24-2008, 09:25 PM Cool Xterra Dude
RobsSexterra 04-24-2008, 09:42 PM very nice X i have an 04 myself and wondered what she would look like if i painted her wheels black. how did you go about installing the aftermarket muffler? I've tried a bunch of aftermarket cat-backs and none fit although they claimed to be for the 2004? oh well. if you could post pics of the muffler that would rule.
Steeze 04-24-2008, 09:46 PM You have to paint your plastic satin black! Your X looks so sick, I have my wheels painted black and they look just like that when there all cleaned up.
For anyone who has been thinking of painting their wheels.. there ya go.
but seriously paint the plastic you wont regret it I promise.
Starscream 04-24-2008, 10:23 PM Jman, Rob and Steeze, thank you all. Steeze, what I actually did was buy a universal muffler from Dynomax. I initially wanted a walker muffler (which increased mileage in my uncle's big rig.) I called Walker only to find they don't have any preformance mufflers, however their sister company does. I went with their Ultraflo muffler, and I'm happy as can be with it. You can watch the video to see what it sounds like. After the muffler was replaced I had the tip cut off and a stainless steel slant tip put on the back. These pictures aren't great, but they're what I have.

There's the Ultraflo, it's tiny compared to the stock.

Here's the stainless tip.
As for install, I took it to a local custom muffler shop near me. If you have any questions on the muffler I'll be glad to give you as much help as possible.
OUMOOSE 04-24-2008, 10:45 PM Yes, if you paint the bumpers that X would be murdered OUT!!!

NissanTy 05-01-2008, 11:46 PM looks great man, love the wheels, that exhaust sounds pretty good too and the tip don't look bad either, if you get them bumpers painted that thing would be pure badass.
cbzdel 05-01-2008, 11:53 PM Yes, if you paint the bumpers that X would be murdered OUT!!!
Good work.
MURDERED OUT!!! I love that describing term, I dont know why but when I say it I just sound cool!! I guess its my fault for watching Rob & Big because thats where I learned it lol...
Starscream 05-02-2008, 07:36 PM I'm loving the term. When talking to my friends that's how I describe the look I want. So thank you for giving me a phrase! :wink-big: Also, thank you Nissan Ty.
I'll keep everyone updated on the bumpers.
