No, do it. Though chrome will rust, so be sure to polish it like once a week. Stainless steel won't. I'm using chrome tips.

just make sure they dont stick out too far from the bumper!!

Mark has a real good setup.

Hey Mark, do you have any more pics of your car's *** end? I've gotta get a new cat-back and I'm trying to decide between SLP TOTL, Hooker's dual dual tips, or Hooker without the dual duals and just dual slash cut tips. How's that Hooker sound?

Blackouts are not *****. Believe me I'm as anti-rice as they come. Clear ones yes, but blackouts are not rice, and they are off the car now as one flew off.

I like the quad look, it's different and looks good IMO.

I must say though, that the clear ones that come stock on Lightnings look good.

also a ***** is a person that thinks its cool to do completly stupid stuff, bacally a poser and a retard combined, like painting a fire extungusher blue and saying its a no2 bottle. or trying to race a car that isnt made for racing ie HONDAS with exception of the S2k

Oh Ok...I get it. So a total ***** is a guy that puts ground effects and paints flames on pinto and thinks his car is fast now...

Or a guy who goes to glass packs to make his 4 banger louder, then puts all sorts of extra gauges and rev gauge with the light and then thinks his car is now super fast.

LOL!!!!!!!!!
Yea that's pretty funny...I get it now.
Thanks!

Oh yea. I almost forgot. Now I see these little 4 bangers with mag wheels on the back and the regular tire up front with no hubcaps. As if they were going to race...
Yea...As if...:sillylol:
