Upgraded Tips

Here's my very first mod! I personally didn't care for the OEM tips on my 997.1 S so I upgraded it to the Fabspeed black chrome tips. What you guys think?

I've only installed one side last but I ran out of time. I'll post a full rear-end photo when I'm done. Indeed, it looks amazing. The stock tips look too more for the opening. This one fills it up more and makes it look more aggressive. And the black chrome just nails it!

Beauty. I did the same in polished stainless.
So much easier to clean too!

The other thing I didn't care much about are those Lobster rims I got. So I bought a set of rims like yours from one of the 6speeders. Those are Carrera S II, right?

The fabspeed tip look really good. I have recently completed the gundo hack and sharlworks center bypass and thought i would finish it all off with new tips. Is it just me or do tips seem really expensive? $650 for the fabspeed tips?????Perhaps group buy???
