PLEASE VOTE! Which looks better? a TA w/ tips? or w/out Like the title says... which do you think looks better? A Trans Am w/ tips out the back? Or no tips (like one would have w/ a TD dumped setup)

Definitely with tips
Camaros can get away with a clean look if they have no tips, but because the T/A bumper has those molded areas for the tips to come through....they just look strange not having anything.
I like the idea of having faux tips if you dump.

I HATE dumps, and I dont understand why poeple get exhaust that dumps under the car. ESPECIALLY on a Trans Am where there are large openings in the rear bumper for tips. What the f*ck is the purpose of such sh*tty exhaust? I've seen a very nice camaro who had true dual exhaust that was run very cleanly out the back of the car into a CME. cleanest setup Ive seen yet. I will most likely be trying to do the same to my trans Am

Ta, definately need tips. Just because there is a space for them in the bumper, camaros look really clean w/ out them because you don't notice anything missing or any empty holes. Get a formula bumper, or put faux tips.

TA's need tips period... and sorry to those that are doing/have done it, but putting fake tips back there isn't right either IMO. I would have added something about how that's tunerish... but I got too much respect for fbodies to go that route.
