Those look like clamp on tips, just get a new exhaust and pick some tips you like.

The tips look like they're sticking out too much and are drooping down. Loose the front plate if you can.

I think it looks pretty good. If the tips were just a tad shorter, it would look even better.
Off note - I think I've seen that car around. What part of NJ are you from?

See if you can make the tips more horizontal rather than pointing down. Very nice stock 'Bird (I do like the stock Pontiac alloys 
)

I'm not a huge fan of the 91+ birds noses, but dang, that is one clean bird...
The tips do stick out a bit much, but they aren't that obnoxious. If they were a little bit shorter and/or more horizontal, they would be
Also, newer rims would make the bird kick as$

If any bird works without gfx, it's the 91+ birds, but I agree.
GFX makes the car, especially birds, that much more sexy...

thanx, im glad everyone likes it. i live in south nj in salem county. the tips do stick out a little 2 far..but...i cant make em strait because the exhaust sits up 2 high w\o being on hangers..so its just how its made 
i want the gfx too. i like it alot on the 91-92s but i cant find any ware, i work at a pontaic dealership and theyre discontinued.

u know...i think im gonna take those tips off..i gave em a few weeks. it just doesnt look right. they do from certain angles..from the side it looks stupid cuz u can see where its obviously a tip, lol...so..thats all for that i guess..since the rest of the car looks stock..might as well keep it that way. thanx for the comments.

i would personally put some sport springs on it to drop it down JUST a little bit, put a set of stock 89-92 Formula concave Turbo-Tech wheels on it, put a Formula "powerbulge" hood on it and keep it lookin pretty stock and clean (as it is, i LOVE that blue, always have), and when the lil 3.1 gives up the ghost i would either go turbo 3.8 or TPI V8...nice car!

sorry , but here goes , you asked. Its ok . The tips suck and look horrible , they stick out and look stupid , get rid of them . Get a powerbulge hood and lower the car . Get the 91-92 aero wing and get some 16 inch formy rims and then get 13inch c4 hd brakes and thats what i would do . But its your car , but the tips are horrible .

thanx...i agree about the tips..never knew what 2 think....the tips dont look that bad in person but..i dont have any other chrome...so...u know whats the point? and they point down a little...im prolly just getting rid of the tips definitly today. i like the ideas but its gotta stay that way....college...
plus the hoods brand new along with the paint. it was in a bad accident and the hood and front fender was replaced and the car was repainted (so was the nose..notice theres no screaming chicken?)
how is a lowered 3rd gen? mine is low enough! damn cat hits everything. i even try takin speed bumps at different angles..still hits, lol..oh well..thanx everyone, keep em commin!
