I got sick of looking at the rusted exhaust tip. So today I went ahead and sanded the rust off, worked my way through all the sandpaper grits (60,100,220,400,1000,2000) Then I used a spray clear coat so it doesn't rust up again. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics   |

Thanks guys. Now I need to shine up the rusted pipe between the tip and the resonator.

Yeah dude, looks real good. Is that the chrome-tip exhaust from the Rally package or is that just the standard pipe? It looks really thick.
On a side note, when I got my 'tek the chrome exhaust tip was super rusty from the Ohio winters. I used some steel wool and some chrome polish and now it looks like new.

Thanks man! It's just the stock tip. The earlier models (01-02) have a thicker weld-on steel tip and the later models have a smaller pipe. |

I painted the pipe black cause the rust was ugly. Then I painted the shocks and the thing that goes around the rear axle.   |

First, what camera did you use to take the first pic? That chromatic aberration is something else.
Second, the painting look really good. I should do that too, or at least clean the axel part. It would look so much better clean or painted. Great idea!

The first two pics were with a 2mp camera phone and the two pics I took today were with a 5.2mp HP Photosmart. |

Looks great. Be sure to check that spare... when I needed mine 4 years later... it was LOW on air!  |
