Question Exhaust tips?

I've been looking at all the pictures and there are two different sets of exhaust tips on the GS430. First will be the picture of the really cool tips.



Now, here is a picture of the GS430 with the NOT AS COOL tips.


Anyone know, which is going to make it to production?

The difference is slight, but one is bigger than the other and just looks more sporty.

I think the difference is the first one's tip is rounded in, while the second one's isnt.

Cool

I personally don't notice a difference......perhaps it looks slightly different because of the picture angle or it was a prototype?

umm if you look closely, in the first two, the tips curves in towards the end, you see a curve there. but on the 3rd one, it's straight

The first also looks a little bit bigger, more sporty looking. And yes it has a rounded finish at the end of the tip.

Question

I can't get a picture with a great view of this, but I noticed when I was at the Lexus dealership the other day that the same exhaust tips that were on the Concept GS at the Auto Shows last year are the same exhaust tips that are currently on the SC430. Would I be able to get these thru Lexus and have them put on the GS? I think they look so much better than the ones that are currently on the New GS.

The 430 I saw at the dealership the other day had the non-rounded exhaust tips. I'm guessing that's what you'll see for the rest of the GS's in production.

You can see more pics of the GS here.

And yes, that's Flint Mica, one of the hottest colors I've seen on the '06 GS
