Black Or Blue ? ..... Tips

***EDIT***

Installed the tips. Very subtle. Both sides almost perfectly even. Right side sits maybe an eighth of an inch higher.

Very simple install. Tips are decent quality. What you see is what you get. I can see where some people prefer the larger diameter tips over what I have , to fill out the space better. Almost anything is better than that rectangle frame you get from the factory.

Yes, it's another exhaust tips thread .

Well I guess I've decided to get onboard the AliExpress exhaust tips train. They really do look pretty good.

Does anyone think the anodized blue is played out and Rice A Roni ?

And I'm pretty sure these still come with the M logo ? I just don't think they are allowed to advertise that

I guess I'm about to find out. I just ordered them.

Thankfully, the only elements I get in Las Vegas is sun and more sun.

For only $150 shipped , I'll roll the dice

I thought the same thing. Looks similar to aftermarket exhausts on some higher end cars ....

As long as I don't see them at AutoZone I should be okay lol
