Looks good. I have one similar. From what I have been told, when the car behind you pulls up close, the reflection of their car changes Jake's color.

Steve it took about 10 min. it mounts on the frame cross member with double sided tape, it also came with self tapping screws but you really don't need them.

Thanks,
I have one that I bought from a different vendor that mounts on the rear muffler brackets. It is close to impossible to do. It would probably fit fine on a non-NPP system but with the NPP muffers you can't even get your hands up there yet alone the bracket or remove the necessary bolts. I may have to try the tape method.
Thanks,
