Those all look fantastic everybody. Even more reason to get some now.

Tee, those should be perfectly fine for my 03 even though I don't have the cutouts in the fender correct? Just want to be sure before I buy some

Not a bad idea but I'm not really looking to go that extravagant...

Ok so Tee, was there any work that needed to be done before you put the tips on? They were the right size and all? And they are just clamp ons correct? Sorry for all the questions.

NP, they are bolt on, but the tech said they were too big and he ended up welding them instead. No biggie for me due to the fact, i felt better knowing they won't fall off. Also IMO the stock tips are too small for my taste, and will stay in the garage for good. Far as you not having the cut outs, I forgot 01-03 do not have those and can't say if how they will look or fit. I'm thinking they will be angle down more toward the ground base on the how the exhaust pipes look.

I have an '02 and my pipes curved down but did have a slight cutout in the bumper underneath. I was just like you and didn't want to be too flashy so I went to the dealer and picked up a stock pair oval shaped that slip on.
I went to a muffler shop to have part of the angle cut off of my tailpipe and wanted them welded on. He charged me $25 bucks and they gave me the exact look that I wanted. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

2002 LS430... The tips were welded on and the angle on the pipes were cut to allow for the tips, the bumper was untouched.
