I was wondering if they make a blank rear diffuser so that you can cut out openings to fit different style tips. For example a Lexus LS tips.
IMO it would look pretty good with these tips.

oh and dont forgot, if you ever really look at the lexus bumper. The openings aren't even connected to the muffler, it has a minor gap so the metal doesn't mess up the bumper.


Hard to explain, but you'll know what i mean when its up close. It would definitely be an interesting look. For a nice simple and clean look, but you never know till someone does it.

Gap is necessary so you don't melt the bumper but it would be great to get a blank diffuser and cut out the opening.

Yeah but less classy, and more like everyone else nowadays. Not that other cars don't have round exhaust tips, but if BMW would copy Lexus tips on a 5 too just like they did on the 7.....

Not too bad...still a bit too "import tuner"-ish for me (notice the term "ricer" was avoided here :whistle
