I plan on joining the maaco mafia, actually. Or, I got a few people in mind. I REALLY want to paint it this year, but we shall see what funds are allowing for it.
Exhaust most of last year I didn't even get hassled. For now, I'm not running one, as the old exhaust I had wasn't cutting it. Kept hitting the rear diff, and shit, so I gotta sort all that out. For now, open dump pointed at the ground really isn't THAT loud..just don't drive like a jackass and do pulls EVERYWHERE (it's hard not to!) and you'll be ok.
