3A Tips. Slanted or Flat Cut-off. Pics anyone?

Anyone have 3A tips? I'm getting them, but don't know whether I should go with the slant cut or the flat cut. Do the slants follow the bumper line? Thanks in advance!

As of now I have no pics of my 3A Tips, but they look awesome. I have them sticking out about 3-4 cm to give them a bit of a visual but nothing too extensive and roll off the bumper real well...They are 4" Resonator Tips from eBay...Got'em for about $20 for both...That's about the cost for (almost) one at Pepboys lol...

This is the URL for the exact tips I bought...trust me their hott...
**mod edit - no links to ebay**

Oops, I overlooked it was just for one ... thanks for pointing that out ... I would have felt like a dumb ass when only one came in.

Since i don't have the kit that was exactly what i needed to see. Thanks. I'm going to go with the flat cut-off. I like the tinted tail light look on your ride!

Thanks to everyone who replied too btw.

Make sure you get some high temp black spray paint to paint the mufflers and back half of exhaust to hide it. Then, put on the tips and tape them off and spray the bolts black too. They stand out too much but when you paint the bolts and exhaust they look like they're just floating there.

See this post for more info - 3A tips installed, painted exhaust pipe

Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna get some high temp black spray paint and go for it. Just ordered the tips on-line for $25ish at mufflermall.com I'll post some before and after pics once I'm finished getting everything I need for the trunk area done.
