    The Merritt and 95 just east of the NY/CT border is frequently stop/go. Too many people, not enough space for said people.

    Hey y'all. Hope you have a great weekend. Does anyone have a favorite exhaust shop, I'm in Newington area but have no problem driving somewhere. Eventually I plan on putting black widow exhaust on the IS350 later this year, but wanna get an idea of the shop to start. I loved them on my '10 Tacoma. Can't wait till I put them on the Lexus. Tia

    Nice thanks! I got my exhaust on the Tacoma with black widow from pops like 8 years ago. Glad to know that they are still the ones to go to. They did great work and had plenty of exhaust tips to pick from.I just brought the muffler and they did the rest. The Wethersfield shop isn't to far from me.

    Forecast here in Indianapolis is really sketchy. Might be a window to get the race in. If not...well... might be back at the track again tomorrow.

    Well, Stripes are on...but we're not satisfied with them.
    Have a lot of hazing on the clear portions and my paint guy thinks these may have been sitting on a shelf too long.
    Seems like the adhesive is causing the issue.
    He says if it doesn't clear in a couple days, call the manufacturer.

    Worse case scenario, run em for now and paint them on later as they make stencils for that purpose.
