First Mods Today!

After purchasing my 01 only two weeks ago, my mods are on the FedEx truck for delivery. Not big mods, but my first.

I purchased the stainless exhaust plate and wasnted to know if there is anything special about installation?

Just clean the area really well with alcohol and make sure it's where you want it when you stick it.
