try getting someone pregnant and your dreams will definitely be crushed.

you need to trace out the tips to your OEM bumper and then cut that out with a dremel or a cutting wheel.

you also need to cut down the ls tips in the back because the OEM exhaust will block it from going in.

he also chopped off the oem tips and created bent tips.

then created brackets and welded the LS tips to the OEM exhaust brackets.

i paid my exhaust guy $30 an hour. id say i paid about $120 altogether for the labor. plus $140 for the LS tips.

$260 for the LS look

what sucks was i had to do this modification twice. one to the OEM bumper and second was with a type s lip

Looking very good. I like mods that are individual yet appear OE.

Any heat issues? Those tips are awfully close to plastic bits that could melt

ive had this for 3 years with no issues.

ceb

Very good. Do the tips not get hot?

I really like mods that don't look like mods

defconskylude

i would think so since the OEM exhaust tips still flow through it.

ive never touched it

WoWoWeeWa!!!! Holy shit, I'M not a car expert by any means such as yourself. I think I might be in over my headwith this one but everytime I look at my tips it pisses me off, lol. Especiaslly now that I've seen yours

I guess I'll look into someone doing all that for me vause I don't have the tools or skill required, I'm just a military jock lol. Did you say 140 for the tips cause the webpage you gave us says $90.23 for each "Extension Insert". Did you do your body work yourself or did the exhaust guy do everything for you? Also, where do you live?

you might be right. its been 3 years since i paid for these things. i paid the exhaust shop to cut the OEM bumper on my 09. when i got my 11' i cut my OEM bumper and my Type S lip myself with a dremel and just paid for the rewelds and oem tips.

im in los angeles

you should try touching it man.

dude i wanna do my tail lights, but i dont think i got the steady hands LOL

defconskylude

serious? thats easy man. the vinyl is thick. practice cutting on cardboard first if youre shaky

Nice, did you have to paint it after it was cut or was it hidden by the edges of the tips?
