Default I don't like the tips of HKS what do I do?

I purchased a set of hks hi power mufflers from a member on here because I loved how they sounded in audio clips on the v8 vehicles. But I just don't like the look of the tips for my car. I dislike the single walled look.
But again I love the sound. I havent installed them yet. But spring time is almost here and I'm starting to prepare for it.
What do you guys suggest I do? Should I have someone roll the tips? Is it possible? Should I stay away from that?
Thanks in advance

i say keep em.. they look good depending how they're mounted.

if u get them tilting up and as close as u can to the bumper its not bad.

I originally had a 2" gap from the exhaust cut out, but had them adjusted with 0 gap

Get them adjusted to almost 0gap with the bumper. Believe me that makes a HUGE difference. Some folks tips are hanging 2" below and think it wouldnt make a huge difference in looks if they simply adjusted it closer to the bumper.
