Not bad but, this will eventually be pointed out by someone.. they appear to stick out a little far. I have some on my camaro and they are set about 1" back from the edge of the bumper/gfx.

I like the looks.. hate the 'chuffle' sound they make. Seems to be a common sound of a rolled edge tip from the few cars (not 4thgen tipped) I've heard though.

Looks pretty good though... a nice change from the cookie cutter 3", slash cut tip (even though that's what I'll be swithing to). They just don't gel on a teal car for some reason, to me.

Just my ramble... ignore it..

Yes they do stick out about a half inch. We did that on purpose. I didn't want the sound to get caught up in the bumper cover if they were inside the cover, I didn't want to risk heat or burning if even with the bumper and I wanted them noticed so sticking out was better.

I have no "chuffle" sound. In fact my car is very quite. When standing next to it you can't tell if it'ss running.

Since car is black it is not too bad. I saw a z28 4th gen and they were set lower away from bumper and i didn't like it. Looked like they were suspended in the air.

I am glad I was able to avoid the rolled tip/slashed tips. Everyone has them. Can we all say Borrring!
