Honestly though, the quad exhaust is sick but I do really like the old Tom's better as it's just cleaner. The new Tom's rear is trying too hard to be an AMG rear from an SL, and the front looks too much like other lips.
Yours is gorgeous, simple and clean... the new kit is appealing to a different audience, those after a more aggressive look and you are right about the AMG look-a-like! I was just thinking how Black-Series’d a silver IS with this kit and a CF spoiler would look LOL… I'm still loving it though

is it me
or those exhaust tips from the left side are different from the right side?
left ones seem to be oval shape and the right ones seem to be just normal shape

IMO Quad Pipe looks better with some aggressive look body kit

I think they could had done something to those side skirts
it's just too plain compared to the front and rear IMO

It is the angle of the photograph. For them to appear totally symmetrical one would have to be directly behind the car.
