Talking Take a look? Possible modding!

Hi all! Havent been on in ages, but I'm back with a few more ideas!! So I havent done anything to the 4.6 in a while, been too busy and didnt even fit my style 177's yet. But I'm on holiday for a while now so decided to start a few mods again. This time however I got the help of photo chopping so I can guage certin things. Take a look, its not a great pic but I'm working on a better one. I'm going fit my 177's soon and was toying with the idea of M5 Mirrors, slight lowering and side pipes!

The rear is lowered via the dealer as it has self levelling suspension and there are front suspension kits out there to fit the 4.6is so I wont have any issues!

Good to see you posting.
I like the look of the wheels, the drop, and the mirrors. Not so sure how the side pipes will look, I'd be afraid it would cheapen the nice body lines lines and fit & finish of the running boards if the pipes are just hanging there. If there was some trim or something in that area tho cut the pipes into, it might make them look more integrated. Just my 2 cents. You better post pics whenever you do these mods!

I have included the side pipes in the pic above! If I could get them to fit in reality like the pic, it would be a nice touch. However it probably wouldnt be possible. Still working on a really nice photochop first then you have a good look.

Performance Exhaust in Babylon will have your truck looking like a stock setup for the side pipes...
