those tips wouldn't work, unless you modded the bumper. the bumper exhaust holes are round...these are square! would look dumb IMO.
so far...from this list, the Porsche tips would look the best IMO.
*round tips for round bumper holes*.... simple/effective.

^there isnt only that issue. i dont think any one has noticed that the bottom of the ridge rear bumper curves outward whereas all of these examples shown are flat in that area. frankly, it wont work and it wont look right. only round tips flow with this kit.

haha of course the bumpers need to be modded, you jagaloons!

And... You sit the tips ''protruding'' from the borders of the kit...

Personally. To make it work, i'd have a simple exhaust the operates totally independent from the tips, with a dump tip that point to the floor. Hide the entire system from view...
Then mod the bumper to fit the ''rice'' tips.. That way it will ALWAYS LOOK GOOD it will never tarnish burr stain or melt your paint, just do your best to make it look like it's functional haha

Although i love the dual tips, this is the best way to go imo. You would have a crap load of modding to do with the bumper. Anyways good luck and post it up when your done.

i think that if that style of car was widebodied / vertex ridge... it's destroy it's class!
those STRs look sick!

grojus_guy i just got back from singapore and have something that might interest you and give you some headway regarding this..

in singapore they have the toyota markX (successor of the markII)

the exhaust you're looking for is the markX =)



markx exhaust fitted to a celsior


how his setup works (which explains exactly why i said point the functional tips AWAY from the dress up parts) but yeah - find some toyota mark x exhaust tips - if you need help PM me and i'll point you in the right direction =)
