Default PORSCHE Exhaust Tips on IS350!!

Im looking to put tips on my IS350 but dont want to just put your average style tips and was looking at using porsche tips. Heres a pic of the tips i like from porsche and i did a quik photoshop of them on the car but with a little twist. I figure if i twist the tips i can get a kind of IS-F style. Lemme no what you think.

Looks horrible tilted like that, may look a little better with them leveled.

hmm...if you like it then do it, but i think that the horizontal cut off breaks everything up...if u had the tips the way that the carrera's do, then i think it'd look good.

option#2 start looking for copies of IS-F tips from japan...

btw, that's a sick color!

Are you sure it will fit. Bolt on or weld?

I kinda like it. One thing if you haven't got a source lined up... when we bought my wife's Porsche 911 we looked at getting a set of those tips at the dealership and they were some stupid money like $900. Even the clone versions were pretty pricey, might as well go full exhaust for those prices unless you have some aftermarket source lined up that is more economical IMO.

It looks interesting.

Distinctive.

Not an IS-F wannabe; not a Porsche wannabe; it stands out with a style of its own.

I give it a

I don't know if I like it, but it sure looks different. What would really look good is turning them 90 degrees to be the same as the Porsche 997, but you'd have to cut the valance some.
