Default Pics of my new exhaust tips (and Navi Hack switch)

I found some exhuast tips that I like and installed them. What do you guys think?

I also had Cartoys perform my Navi hack and install the switch in the pic below thanks to all the help on this forum. I actually printed out the DIY instructions and had the installer follow them specifically.

3A Racing. I picked them up at Auto Zone for $25 each. Inexpensive, but I'm pleased with the end result.

I like the exhaust tips, are they a screw on deal or welded on?

Where did you get the switch ? I do a fair number of nav hacks here for members, and am always looking for a decent switch. BTW Switch is a bit crooked but still acceptable.

I should post mine since I am giving you **** with yours being a bit crooked LOL

Something is bugging me about these tips and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Do you guys think they are sticking out too far?

They are welded on.

Cartoys actually found this switch laying around their shop. The installer said they typically pull these square switches out of different cars and they use circular switches for most customers that aren't picky because they can drill the holes. I was obviously very pick and insisted that he cut and file the rectangular switch for consistency. I had taken in another switch that I got from Fry's Electronics and it was just a tad too big. You might trying looking there. Honestly, I never noticed that it was crooked a little bit until I posted this picture and I noticed the exact same thing before you mentioned it....haha. Oh well, at least it doesn't stick out in real life.

BTW, your switch looks really good too.

I think your nav hack looks better then mine. I want to switch mine to a button soon but no big rush I guess.
