Trying to Install ap2 tips.
Basically popped off the top of the rusted bolt. Any advice on how to get these stock tips off?

Was that bumper remolded? cuz that bumper cutout is perfect LOL.

I still don't see it haha, on that 2G IS it looks like OEM+ if anything. The 2G IS with the F-Sport Exhaust looks nicer too me thinks

If you see these tips in person you will be quiet amazed. From just a test fit over oem they fill up the gap really nicely.

Looks good. Could use some more pics, maybe one that matches the black Lexus and a couple further away at a higher, standing angle.

Looks good so far though.

I haven't really looked into tips yet but I prefer a more round tip as to that of the s2k's oval. So far I like those 4" Magnaflow tips that another member got

I like those also 35121 but they are 7 inches long. Would stick out way too long

Also... how hard was it to remove the stock tips? Both my bolts were rusted.
Thanks.
