What do the tips look like now? Post a picture.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's an exhaust that is going to get soot and other crap on it from the sheer nature that it's exhaust gasses coming out..
The Ti finish is going to change anyways with the heat and conditions in which you drive over...rain, crap on the road...etc.

So a quick update took the car for a deep wash and the tips needed some much TLC, I used WD40 to get rid of the yellowing in the tips, will how ever still go ahead with resonators in My amuse midpip to eliminate the foul smell from the car, wanted to thank everyone here whom gave great advice

Can you do us a favor and take a few pictures of your rear taillight please but closer.

It looks different than what we get here in the USA. Yours looks to have a rear fog light in it which is cool, but one thing I wanted to see is the rear turn signal . I believe ALL other countries got full led rear taillights where as the USA gets an amber halogen bulb....smh


I wouldn't worry about the exhaust, it looks good from that last two pictures you posted. No one is ever going to notice and yellowing or discoloring..lol. It's just us OCD folks that take note ;-p

Thanks,
-Nigel

Ideally if you can take a picture of both the inner/outer housings almost how you have it now, but just much closer up.

Would love to see how the turn signal LED looks. I also believe your turn signal housing is also smoked like the rest of the taillight is, where in the USA ours is not smoked/tinted. It's clear. If I could figure out how to get the rear fog light working I'd probably order an entire rear set of taillights. I don't know why we don't get certain features here in the states compared to everywhere else.

I assume you also have power folding mirrors, yes?
