see the crack at the bottom of the hole? That is from a lowered car with sideskirts and why I went air-ride. Sucks as it looks killer just limits the ride height for daily use.

I absolutely was dead set on getting these, until you guys pointed out the rear of the car looking neglected. UGH.

its one of those things that I have never had anyone come up in person and say they didn't like. Normally the side exhaust is a big compliment no matter the back end or not but if anyone EVER comes across the California designs customs ultimate aero shield let me know. Like I said been considering how I could make one myself for a while now...

Have any more photos of that car from a profile view? Hard to determine how I feel about it from such a zoomed in view

Its got to the point that even finding pictures of it is hard too do let alone the original piece. I have been looking for 8yrs now and saw one come up and it was cracked and went for $400. Side exhaust by the time you get it painted, installed is one of those big boy toys that I just have never had anyone say they didn't like it.

Oh yeah? What does side exhaust cost on average? I know some people' score deals but I'm sure there is a common market value for this...

I got mine around 2008. Dynomax mufflers and tips ran I think $250, side skirts were another $250 paint and install(the screwed as well as used panel bonding adhesive under the door as well as made mounts for the bottom lip under the car) was $600. I know some people say to use the double sided tape but after a career in car audio using that stuff to stick stuff all around cars I know it has a shelf life especially when exposed to the elements.

Ok so roughly a G if you're paying someone else or 300-400 if done yourself. Seems reasonable.

I am going to add the Roush rear bumper cover to mine when I get the Side exhaust done...it will look more even back there too bad you don't find these much anymore...the Xenon reatr cover comes pretty close though.

I would have to disagree with ya on that one I would rather go with the stock rear bumper. That looks like to me like they modified a thunderbird bumper for it, just doesn't look right at all.

TTocs...I'd like to see the actual front & rear components installed on your car if possible....are they like adjustable air shocks or the larger diameter air bags? Thank if you don't mind....You system is EXACTLY what I want also! Love the leveler concept & the Digital presets! That seems like a killer price, I'd jump on that in a heartbeat! AM sells that for a LOT more!

our cars get so shafted when it comes to the rear bumper.

I am running a straight air bag set up. The bag replaces the coil on the stock suspension componants. They make the shocks in a shock/bag system but they have not got the struts for it yet. When I got my kit last oct they said that they were hoping it would be out in the next year. Last I heard they are still saying that they should be out shortly and know of at least one person that is anxiously waiting for them.
