Can anyone on here make custom stainless exhaust tips?

Hear me out on this, I'm a fan of the quad tips on most cars these days, they're typically incorporated into the bumper or at least the bumper is formed around them. But not a huge fan of just some slant cut round tips hanging down on our thirdgens. Call me picky but it looks kinda.... unfinished? Unpolished? Outdated? Don't get me wrong, I've had round tips on my car for years but there's not a lot of options out there. I know that a straight edge bumper is kinda hard to mess with especially when you have the floor of the hatch right there to work around. But round exhaust tips just don't flow with the styling of the car. Other then the wheels there really isn't anything round on the outside of the car. Everything is angled and sleek, which is sheer beauty if you ask me.
But what about this? Rectangle quad tips, but on the outer tips, they have an angled side that matches the body line of the bumper. The rear of the car/bumper angles in, what about echoing that line? Maybe the center most tip would be 2x3.5 and the outer tip would match at the top but be a bit narrower on the bottom, again matching the angle of the bumper. Does that make any sense, could I bug someone to photoshop this?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Not my car but maybe a sort of reference, although the height of the tip might need to be a bit more to pronounce the angle better.






A rough sketch of what I'm trying to say lol.

I think I would angle both sides.

I saw a Buick LaCrosse today.

Keep the pattern angles similar to the rear 1/4 inward slant.

Your rough sketch definitely looks better than the LT1 style tips. It's more pleasing to the eye when you mimic the body lines and put the dividing line in the middle.

Although in my opinion the best looking exhaust is the exhaust you can't see.
