i mean if you worked for corsa then you would be able to tell but the only thing you can SEE that differs real ones from fake ones is .... 1. the real ones say corsa right above the edge of the tips,.... and 2. the real ones have i guess you could say vent holes on the inside along the top of tips. thats what i was TOLD, i have no clue if this is FACT!!!

the only noticeable difference between the real or fake is the $300 difference on your credit card bill.

its about $80 shipped for the pair. I think the thought of paying $425 for tips is ridiculous. I've bought engines for that price.

Borla, they came on the car when I bought it, they don`t look to bad when they are tucked up to the rear bumper and are even.

going back to your spring set up. Do you have the exact model #s for it? what all do you need besides springs? Did you do shocks/struts too???

As you know we have a recall on our sail panels, right? Well i had a pontiac dealership take care of it (they sent it to a body shop) that same body did my sail panel, mirrors and hood..
