Quick Update:
I got my hands on a second set of the OEM Premium Floor Mats.

One of the sets is in absolutely mint condition. I don't think they were ever used.
The newly acquired set is in good condition, but you can tell that they were used for a bit. There is very minor scuffing on the emblems and a little bit of wear around the edges. I picked them up so that I had a set to run full time.
I'm also debating filling in the recessed areas in the daily floor mats emblems with paint. Not only would it help hide the dirt that's going to build up but it might give it a nice accent as well. I'm not sure what I want to do yet though. Part of me wants to do it, the other part says I'm an idiot for doing that to these mats. >_<

If you ever have the opportunity to get your hand on a set of the OEM Premium Mats I would strongly recommend that you pick them up. They won't be colored to match a CR theme if that's what you're going for, but the extra pieces that cover the hump on both sides more than makes up for it.

Those are the pictures I have of it.
I love the way it sounds. It's just enough so that you know it's there. There is no drone, no rasp, nothing. You can hold a conversation in the car without raising your voice, it's the perfect exhaust.
My only problem is that I want to try and get the metal brighter. I wish it was fully polished.
I also had to fab up a hanger or two to get the exhaust to line up perfectly, but it sits even now on both sides, with zero movement while driving.
Much like my wheel faces, it's a much brighter shade of silver in the sun which I think looks way better.

Please excuse the quality of the pictures. They were all taken with my phone and the quality isn't the best.
