Love the tips! Looking forward to the rest of the pics.
I can't justify replacing the exhaust on my brand new car, but these pictures (and other youtube videos) make me wish my exhaust would magically break, or simply fall off.

I love the black tips. It looks like the tips are stickin out a bit though. I like them tucked as close as possible to the bumper.

Surgery complete:
We played with adjustment for a little bit and ended up tucking in about 1.5 inches and up about 3/4"...more pics tomorrow during day light of the tips...the also have a heat-proof RPI sticker.
Last but not least, how I paid for it:
How did you adjust the height? My RPI hangs way too low for my liking with the OEM hangers. I LOVE the sound and performance, but I am quite disappointed with the fit. It hangs down like a cheap Japanese cannister. It's disappointing that such a well engineered exhaust requires custom install to make it fit right.
I will post pics next week. Unfortunately I am out of town for the weekend without a computer to load pics.

Remember, these exhausts were made for OEM bumpers, not aftermarket bumpers. With that said, the install isn't custom at all. At my request, Eloy used a smaller rubber hanger in the rear near the tips and simply pushed the exhaust in a little. That's it. You just have to play with it a little. When you use the smaller hanger and push the exhaust in a little, it automatically moves the tips up.
