Default Black chrome tips

Found some tips that match up with the SD emblems. Kept the stock mufflers since I don't want the car louder.




Kinda dark when I picked it up from the shop, discovered the next day the left side needs fixed, so I will go back Tuesday.

they can stay. if flushed, it'll look much more pleasant!

The finish is awesome!

I know they are not straight, that is why it is going back next week. Because of the stock muffs, I was told that new muffs might be needed to flush them. I think once they are flushed and straight, it will look much better. I may need to trim some of the bumper (inside) for clearence.

Awesome that you found tips to match the emblems and glad you like them, but it just looks too awkward for me. IMO, the GS can only pull off round or oval tips.

Flushed them as much as possible without replacing the stock mufflers. Not crooked anymore either.

I don't like these at all. I prefer the round type...plus this just does't sit well with the bumper IMO.
