Thanks. I had the Civic on the back done black too but it didn't look right. I remembered I still had the red overlay. It looks more balanced that way I think.

fixed exhaust leak by installing necessary bolts & springs to connect catalytic converter & downpipe.

Installed my weathertech visors. Good quality but they weren't cut perfectly, the weather strip of the bottom of the window took a beating trying to install the passenger side.

I knew I was gonna have an exhaust leak when I was missing the bolts leading to open catalytic converter and downpipe also causing my car to sound like a complete utter ricer. But in general, exhaust will smell different sometimes smell may even lead into the car & black smoke will be heavier than normal and smoke may be in other areas where it's not suppose to be. Car will run slightly differently as well that is my opinion on a exhaust leak but keep in mind pending where the leak may be & how big will depend on the symptoms. I have (2) 5 second sound clips on my phone with one having the bolts and one not having bolts connecting the two together both are cold starts.
I got the HFP suspension for 760 shipped,my dealer warranties accessories from honda for the life of my warranty,the car is so different and isn't looking like a lift kit any more,plus I have my suspension on eBay now for 250.00 and have 5 watchers so that will cut into the costs.it was worth it,I didn't want coil overs,didn't want anything real harsh.i waited for a fair price and got it so I'm good
I'm getting it done for 300 plus he is taking my badges off and replacing them with the ones I painted included.

Done with the rear, took about an hour but definitely easy. Doing the front tomorrow after I pick it up.

I meant to agree with you. Looks like the Elantra has less chrome than I thought. I mean a Kia, by my post
