Any tips on "tips"?

Looking to drop in some better looking factory replacement exhaust tips for my 450h. Would not mjnd adding a rear lip, but definitely want to give the exhaust a glam up

i can understand, and it's not for everyone..
since the op asked, the one that i mentioned happens to be a direct replacement for the OEM tips in japan.
why we mod the car in first place when you can just leave it alone? it IS an expensive hobby..

if u ask me, i would rather have a full exhaust system than just tips, but i don't think this really apply to hybrid models..

I have these from my 2Gen, I'm going to mount them tomorrow. I'll get a picture up tomorrow night after wards...They looked great on my 2Gen...Im hoping they will look just as good on the new car.

Nicely done on the Wald tips! Gonna have to wait on those since I'm putting in the hid fogs first. Looks like I'm heading down the same path you are on....
