Default 2011 IS with AP2 Tips w/o GFX Lip

Just got these AP2 tips and got them installed I know most of you think they stick out too much which i was afraid of but i actually like the way these look since the stock tips are just too small ?? I figured if they looked too " ghetto " then it'd give me an excuse to get the GFX lip ?? Sorry for the dirty ride ...... been raining here for days

It looks fine without the GFX rear but it would be nice if you added that.

Looks good... I just got a set myself. I feel better now that I've seen them on the car as I also thought it might look "ghetto". Also on the fence about getting the GFX lip.... I say get it and post pics

Still up in the air regarding the GFX ......... i was only going to get that if the tips were sticking out too too much but i actually like the way it looks even without the GFX

Best thing about being on this forum is getting to see examples of what we may like ......... before actually pulling the trigger. Hope it does sway you to go for it

It looks good dude. If you want them to sit a little more flush bend it the raised bumps on the stock exhaust pipe. Then just get a heavy rubber mallet and hit the s2k tip until the desired alignment is met.

How do you do this? Actually bend the pipe? Thank you!
