Polished Stock Exhaust w/ Bumper Tuck (Pics)

Hey guys, just got my 2003 G last week. Absolutely loving the car! This is my daily driver so I'm trying to stay away from too much modding but I have a feeling it's going to get the best of me.

Anyway - here are some pics of my friday afternoon project. A few of my local Z buddies have done this so I thought I'd give it a go with the G. I searched for a while on here and couldn't find any pics of a bumper tuck with polished exhaust so here ya go:

Thanks!

I found a few threads on here on how to polish the muffler but I can't seem to find them.

Basically I just sprayed aircraft remover all over the muffler and then used a wire wheel to take all of the black paint off. After that I wet sanded with 250, 400, 600, 800, and 1500. Once I sanded I used some rubbing compound and a buffer. Then followed that up with a polishing wheel and some polish.

I've seen people hand buff and polish as well with great results.

Bumper tuck is when you fold the part of the bumper in between the exhaust tips.
