Here is one in my EBay cart, due for delivery in a couple weeks... coming from Korea... It is KDM version on the MD Avante (US Elantra)

Wow your cut outs look so much better than an exposed exhaust on this car

Thanks Hoovey.... I debated going with a rear diffuser with dual-tip/quad exhaust or a trapezoidal dual exhaust. The latter won.... looks like you prefer my choice, no?

I'm sure the quad is cool for racing or shows etc.. but this just looks so much better, classy, elegant, looks OEM which is a key element too. So well done sir
