Alternative to 3A tips?

Went to Autozone today to purchase some 3A tips (62-2354) to complement my new bodykit. While the price was the lowest I've seen, I didn't like what I saw. Those things were huge...I could damn near fist the hole!

Does anybody make anything slightly narrower than the 3A, but still wider and longer than the OEM tip? Not having ever seen the 3A tips in person until today, I would have thought they wouldn't be as ricey as they were.

Has anybody here thought the same thing as me, but then put them on the car and they blend in pretty good?

It really helps having a kit cuz the tips fit the holes very well. With that said, I have my 3.5 x 9 slant tips on without a kit, and I think they look really nice without looking ricey.
