Yes, GTHaus! I did go with the oval tips for a more OE look. They are shinier and larger than stock

That is the GTHaus exhaust. They are more chrome than stock. Looks better IMO. The stock exhaust tips look like plastic, almost like they're painted silver. The one thing I dislike about the GTHaus is the bars in the middle.

The bars are annoying and SHARP! I guess it is their trademark look and that is why it is there... mimics their logo.

Do you get little pebbles stuck between the tips? I get some on mine and they’re annoying to get out. Some are wedged pretty deep in there and I have to separate the tips and swipe the rocks out when I’m washing the car.

One of the few times it sucks to live in a condo, no space to hoard silver Enkeis! 😜
Oh man @wthrman2 , I'd take those off your hands if you were closer! I love my silver enkei!

I thought you were going to save the Enkeis for when I inevitably buy your car

You cant go wrong with the 350 wheels and sure you can find someone who wants the Enkeis. I am gonna be dumping my silver Enkeis...i wasnt sure at first but i have no use for them and only take space
@wthrman2 Since I got Ultrawhite the Dark Enkeis have grown on me. And also, since we're in the driver's seat 99% of the time, I stopped caring much about anything aesthetic and just learn to love the V8 growl and Sport+ Manual shifts. If anything, I may want to switch to silver wheels later on if we can get some lighter weight options? HRE, BBS, Titan7, etc....

Interesting, it looks the same all around in the picture. I'm planning on getting 20% all around and 70% on the windshield. How is visibility at night in the city/suburbs?
