I did a bad thing today, I loaded the magnaflow box with my stock exhaust in it to dispose of it today at work. As I was pulling the box out of the back it slid out of my hand and onto the bumper. I picked it up with the help of a co worker and put it in the trash. When I came back to the car to close the hatch I noticed what I thought was dirt/salt from the streets. Well, guess what? It wasn't salt or dirt or poop, it was bare plastic!!! I guess the box rubbed a bit against the bumper and took two spots of paint off, not real big at all, but it's there. Am I to believe that a rub from a box will take the paint off my car, it's not like I dropped it or pulled it across the bumper. AH! Who is painting these cars, Ray Charles? Now I have read the posts about paint problems with the Vibes but come on here, cut me a break! I would expect a little more duarability(sp) isn't this 2005?

just want to know, how does that magnaflow sound? I'm looking for something that doesn't sound so nasally...Quote, originally posted by PhillyVibeGT Â»I did a bad thing today, I loaded the magnaflow box with my stock exhaust in it to dispose of it today at work.

There is a magnaflow clip somewhere around here but couldnt find it. Someone just posted it not too long ago.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=8047

He must've meant Stevie Wonder.I scuffed my rear bumper too just from resting the spare tire on it. I had to spot sand it and use some touch up paint to get rid of it.BTW, I have the Magnaflow clip on my site:http://www.neptune.com/users/m...6.wmv

I bet the scrape is on the rounded edge of the bumper. I have a bumper protector but I am not sure how often it will actually help. It looks good anyways.

One of the reasons I picked shadow is so I could get non-painted bumbers without too much of that 2 tone look. They should mold those thing color or do plastic coat.
