Got my tips back... took 24hrs and $40 total. The PC job was great, but I must say that I'm not that excited about the way they look on a white car. Its not terrible, but you just lose them when the sun is really bright. I may end up taking them off and trading someone for chrome tips.

Do you have any more pictures from further away? I am curious after hearing you say they get lost when the sun is bright.

Thanks

They turned out nice.

Here is the thing with black exhaust tips. You need to compliment your car with black elsewhere to have it flow better. I achieved this by wrapping my tail lights. If this look isn't your style then you're better off trading them.

On the brighter side, good thing you spent $40 rather than $400+

Yeah you're right. I'm planning on getting the cf spoiler so maybe that will help. I was on the fence this afternoon but now I'm starting to warm up to it. Funny thing is I'll bet nobody really notices this shit anyway.
