Add Exhaust Tips?

Would any RLX owners consider having the exhaust tips modified so they stick out the back?
I can't decide if this were done, if even possible, would it take away from the luxury look of the car?

Visible exhausts would probably give the car more of a "sporty" look, but don't know if it would look out of place.
Someone a while back did a photo-shop of an RLX with a couple of different exhaust looks and it didn't look too odd.
What do you think??

No, not this owner. I don't think it would add any visual value.

If I owned, no.

A). That would require a LOT Of body work. Likely a new rear bumper or valence to make it done right. Would be expensive. No thanks as I'd be leasing this beast.

B) I own two sports cars with beautiful, shiny exhaust tip goodness already, so I can live without it on an RLX. RLX offers maximum stealth in a luxury car.

I will acknowledge that if tastefully done, tips can be added. Again, it looks at first glance to be a LOT of work to mod.

Yeah, I'm kind of feeling the same way

My RLX is lased, so it wouldn't be prudent to take a sawzall to it. And from the driver's seat I can't see the back end anyway.

The car seems to perform quite well as it's currently configured, so I'd just leave it alone and not try to make it something it isn't.
