The stripe is actually leather, not rubber.

Thanks mate. The floor mats are ///M mats from one of the forum members here. I think a lot of the 1M guys bought from him. I then add a metal scuff plate which I got from eBay.

Angus, it is slightly smaller than the original ///M SW and I find it better fitted to my hands.

In-cabin sound check

So you often hear sound clips of exhaust sound outside the car and drive-by, I thought I do one inside the car with my HMS exhaust.

Here it is, recorded with my iPhone:

HMS exhaust is amazing inside and out!
Guess there's a reason why it costs so damn much!

Have you got any quote for the HMS exhaust from any of the distributor in Sydney or Melbourne?

More mods

Another exterior mod done today when the rain had stopped long enough for me to wash the car and put these on. What do you all think?

It does look better in person I think, as it doesn't look as "obvious" as in the photos. From a distance it does look like a side opening.
