Default S2k tips no GFX

What's do you guys think? I tried it with out the GFX rear. I had to use a 3lb rubber mallet to get them to slide in all the way but I think it came out pretty good.

Nice, usually they stick out way too much. I like this. But a GFX kit would look better though.

Yeah I agree but it's a lease so I didn't want to go too crazy with it, since what I did to my last car. But yeah I saw pictures they do stick out a lot but that's becuase there are raised bumps under the stock tips. Those have to be pressed in with pliers and the tips have to be banged in with a rubber mallet to sit right up against the muffler canister itself.

I mean it's just metal, I figured of I have to I can grind or heat it to manipulate the shape if I needed to but all you need is pliers and a rubber mallet but make sure you put them on straight becuase after you beat them on there is no twisting them lol.

I'm sure there are. But my car is pretty much stock I picked it up a few months ago and im looking around for what I can do in terms of modding. I would def like a front lip and they don't have anything available for my bumper except for the f sport splitters which I don't really like.
