Just put borla tips on. When I had them welded on I think they pulled them out a little. What do you think? I kinda wanted them to be flush with the exhaust opening.

LOL. Yea. It wasn't too hard. I just parked normally. lol

Oh and the tips were never connected to the exhaust. I wanted to see what they would look like first. I did drive around like that for a little while though,

It works for me personally because the angle of the tips almost is comparable to where the bumper drops off. What are the specs/info on them?

OP:They appear just fine, far enough to avoid exhaust burns on the paint but not too far as to look ricey.

Thanks.. As far as the rear.. I know. Thinking about jumping on the UAS band wagon. Changing the rims and removing that spoiler are priority right now tho.

They don't stick out that far, but they look like they are a little low...? Are they supposed to fit in the cut outs?

They look a little too low to me... Maybe it's just me though. I had my Borla tips custom welded to how I wanted it so I don't know where they are supposed to be exactly. Check my sig for comparison.
