Anybody have these tips?

I just bought a set of these tips to go on my car. Does anybody have these already and can you post pictures so I can see what it will look like? I think I would like to see them on a car before I commit to having them welded onto mine.

Yes, they're second gen (77-81) Trans Am exhaust tips. They point down. Use your imagination, or look at a picture of a second gen TA, and picture what they would look like on a 91 Firebird. They would be just barely exposed pointing down right before the rear bumber cover. I think they'll look great. Hell, I've go Torq Thrust II wheels which are basically a vintage look anyway. I think these tips will look great.

Well, on the 2nd gen TA's the tips exit right next to the rear quater panel while the 3rd gens exit right under the bumper.

I'm technologically challenged and without a digital camera. I understand, though, that as a tail pipe pioneer it will be my duty to share my results with the rest of the community. So, I will do my best.
