Default My Tarmac Black Drag EVO MR

So here's what I've been working on. As you can see, I created a custom drag exhaust for it. This is probably one of the best paint job I've done. The little spots you see on the body aren't errors, they're dirt that got on while I was testing it out. The front lights are blacked-out, so are the rear lights. Tell me how it looks. Appearance tips are welcomed. Thanks for checking my EVO out.

nah. i didnt paint everything. the only thing i painted with the body are the front lights. some drag cars uses light covers,but for this one, i just made it like part of the body. i did tape too. its just kind of dirty so you cant really see.
i have two bumpers, this one and a stock light chargespeed bumper. i use this one for racing. the other one for the shelf. i also need to clean up those dust too.

oh. i see. i used my dremel to make the exhaust mounting place larger. then i put the exhaust in place and superglued it. you'd have to take time to get good results.

It's pretty nice, I like the mesh a lot and like azngtboi said, never seen a exhaust like that before, also is the exhaust only on one side or is it on both sides?

thats a nice car
i like the color scheme you went with and that exhaust is sweet.
this is just my personal opinion, but i think you should fill in the spot on the rear where the exhaust used to go

Wow... Speach less

Not a huge fan of the exhaust, but it looks pretty good.

I am lovin' the exhaust. The relocated front tag is also a nice touch. A little better paint job would complete this ride. Overall original and on the right track.
