If your planning to add a rear lip it'll cover them up a bit also.

Your going to need an aggressive rear lip to cover those tips...lol. Look at the Wald or the Ings rear lip.

looks good like bad said, look at wald or ings, you can also probably get any other lip kit as it will attach the the rear of the bumper and probably cover a good 2 inches of the tips.

Got tired of my exhaust sticking out so much so removed the tips and liked they way they look without it, the blue is to ricy for me so just painted it glossy black with high temp spray

Here's another pic, it did leave all the holes from where the tip had rivets but left it alone for now the black makes it look good

I'd like to see your impression of the Apexi controller doing its thing compared to the OEM "PWR" mode.

Clean switch install BTW!

Thanks Gville, I tried all the modes its a big difference, the High Throttle mode is a tad bit better than OEM pwr mode and the two boost modes it flies through the RPMs no tire chirp though like others claimed but noticeable difference

^Care to explain what was "a tad bit better" exactly? Using the Apexi controller in all settings at WOT, does it hit the rev limiter or CLOSE to it like in "Normal" OEM mode when at WOT? Some say that in the "PWR" OEM mode that the shifts are not at the rev limit; since I have only used the PWR mode a handful of times, I cannot verify those statements though.

I think what limits the redline is the tach limit option but if you turn it off you really have to shift for the car or it hits rev limit and stays there... This Apexi on all 3 eco modes there was a ton of lag even when flooring the pedal it would gradually move up in RPMs on Low throttle you would floor it and it felt like the car was pulling another car hahahaha on the two boost modes juts barely tapping the gas and you could definitely feel the rapid acceleration all the way through 4500RPM and lastly on High Throttle mode the one I use daily now its feels like tapping on the throttle is more instant response like its there at all times if you need to accelerate you hit the gas and it immediately responds not as much as the two boost modes but enough to pass the car ahead of you and then about 4500RPM all modes get back to normal car acceleration. This device just controls how fast it accelerates to 4500+RPM. I still have to try it with ETC pwr on, im sure it would be a better response as well because with just ETC pwr and without Apexi it will accelerate faster because it stays in lower gears longer.
