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
