Default OEM Exhaust with round tips

One of my exhaust tips fell off when I put the OEM back on...SO I decided to try something different and like how it looks. If anyone else wondered what it would look like here you go. I just ordered tips off line so I randomly picked them.

not yet still working on it. I have it at my Friends dealer and I think I may just trade it in for the mini-van or suv for the wife. Not sure yet.

Looks really good. I made consider going with the oval look instead, because mine have had it.

No but its just a 3.5" round tip, you can get these anywhere. I paid ~ $20 for both shipped to my door. Tips are cheap!!!

Agreed. Whenever I see a car with coffee cans stuck on the back, I know it's 1) driven by someone who wishes they were driving a fast car, 2) going to sound loud and buzzy, and 3) probably a civic.

For me, big round tips only look good on sports cars. I think they look garish on our car. I would prefer a slightly larger oval tip to fill the bumper cutout, or, better yet the gorgeous rectangular tips that look integrated into the bumper. The LS is a great example:
