Exhaust tips
I've searched to no avail. Are there any alternate options to the IS-F double stacked exhaust tips? I love my car but think the double stack tips looks hideous. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

But, I don't think this was ever produced.

I really don't think it would look right simply due to the way the rear bumper cover has openings for the exhaust tips. You would need a large diameter tip and even then, because of the odd shape of the opening, it still might look like there is too much empty space. Even the ISS tips don't fill it out quite right (although I still think they look good). Anything with a single exhaust tip would require some changes to the rear bumper to actually good.
If the fake tips bother you, I have seen a couple of members who have had tips welded on to the stock mufflers ending up with an appearance close to the ISS exhaust. How long have you had your car? If it's still new to you, maybe they'll grow on you.
^^^ That is kind of what I was imagining. To me it looks much weirder thatn the normal tips.

From a visual perspective, I absolutely love the stacked quad exhaust tips. Very interesting to know that some people dislike it. I know a couple of my buddies don't like the design of them either. I look forward to see what the OP will end up doing as an alternative.

Much agreed. I think the tips give it a unique aspect to the car itself. It's not subtle, but neither is anything else about this particular Lexus. It's not for everyone, but to me, it's a part of the car- even if it isn't part of the car. An alternative is doing what FIGS has done and have two giant bazookas peeking through the exhaust slot, which looks quite menacing.

Moreover, I like how the exhaust tips are tastefully designed; not round and nearly vertically-stacked like the Ferrari California's but rather oval and stacked just at the right angle.
Anyway, I'll try to find photos with IS-Fs that have unique tips as I'm interested to see if there are ways of nicely replacing the OEM style exhaust tips

Cosmetically, I love them as do all of the people who have seen my F.
