Or if i do a straight pipe would that be quite expensive? currently got mugen grill but its unpainted.

I like your wheels :)

For 'better' sound, listen to a few exhausts so you know what you want. 'Better' for me is a more throaty sound but not that much louder than stock. 'Better' for a couple of my mates is just having it louder.

On top of removing the resonator, you could either straight pipe it, get bigger pipes (I think it's 2 inch stock so go up another 0.25 inch) and leaving the resonator.

I'm going for bigger pipes and muffler, and a less quiet resonator ~$650.

Since you have a Varex, removing your resonator shouldn't be much of a problem. Just adjust the butterfly valve accordingly.

@honda_fd , @nedkerry Thanks guys will take the advice and remove the resonator as my next mod :)

Im also scared that it will sound too raspy, i want it to sound more deep but dont know if thats possible.

When i sprayed the rims blue i did 2 heavy coats of clear and the finish is really smooth all round, dirt just wipes clean

And about the bumper, on first glance it looked like the same colour as the car lol

Oh wow nice! Cheers! haha gonna get that paint. good bond? LOL what about primer? Your white engine paint from autobarn matches the bunnings paint's color?

Which clear coat did you use?

I am still confused of which paint to buy

Haha yeah my car is purple, which is kinda....gay but I'm used to it now. Decided to save 3k and not gonna do a respray job
