98-00 Tips -> 01-05 Tips
Sorry for the hold up guys: got the *****y "sorry we missed you" note from the usps on monday, and it's been a rat race trying to get them.
I believe there's a thread by e-man about the tips, but I wanted to post my own pictures.
All you do is pull them off with some force.
Here's the old tips:
New tips:
Great mod if you're thinking about updating the exterior of your 98-00 GS. I highly recommend it.

Here's another view to show how small the stock 98-00 tips are.
Note: Mine were black and looked pretty bad.

Probably because of the angle and the fact that the tips are smaller in diameter.
Definitely ballin' on a budget.

Each tip retails $55.63 from the dealer. I'm sure carson toyota can get it to around $100 shipped for a pair.

I paid $50 shipped for two used tips off of an '03 430.
They're in great shape too.
