Default IMO, One of the CHEAPEST and BEST Mods for our car...!

Hey guys, Imo, argubly one of the BEST and Cheapest mods I think should be done to our lexus !

S2000 Tips !!!!!

I bought them on ebay for $40.00 shipped

I wanted to do something to the exhaust to make it stand out a bit and give the rear a bit more flare. The stock tips are just plain ugly looking. I Didn't want to get an exhaust, due to droning in the cabin (had enuff of that in my 2nd gen GS), Police, etc..So, I did some searching for S2k tips.

It makes the rear of the car look alot more sportier w/o the droning noise of an exhaust, and still makes the car feel luxurious.

To me hands down one of the best mods you can do to your car and very cheap, if you ever get tired of them or change your exhaust, all you have to do is put your stock tips on !

All you have to do is remove your stock tips with a vice grip whiggle it out, and just bolt these on with a 10mm screw. Adjust it where you want it and there you go ! Took me maximum 20 min for both sides.

I don't think it look 'bad' at all. I'm not really sure what I think though.

They seem too small and stubby for the car.

Just my impression.

hey guys, thanks for the comments, like always on this forum to each there own. In person they actually look alot better, I figure instead of changing out the exhaust ill just change my tips out to see what it looks like. Maybe later ill swap it out for a catback dual tip exhaust hehe

A little bigger diameter would be nice but overall not too bad.

I rather keep the stocks if its just tips, but even so I would not use those S2K tips. They have the larger and oval tips now that look better then the ones you have, those aren't too bad.
