Corsa Clones on Formulas I did a lot of searching for corsa tips on formulas and could not find much for results. Most of what I found was on Trans Ams. Pleas post up pics of your Formula's (preferably) or v6 cars with corsa tips/ corsa clones. If anyone has one with 4" tips that is what I REALLY want to see because that is the setup that I am planning on going with. Thanks in advance for the help!
Edit: Please post what size your tips are.

Yeah Im having a hard time finding some tips I like for the bird. The dual clones like ones pictured above look pretty good but Im still leaning towards dumped near rear axle or go the old school firebird look with the turn downs before the rear bumper. Dont want something big and flashy in the rear thats for sure.

That is exactly what I was talking about. To me, the ones posted looks like they tried to keep theres out there with the part of the tag which causes them to stick out to far IMHO from behind and the side and kinda the angle in the pic you posted.

Mine are actually tucked into the bumper pretty tight. Looking straight down you can not see them. I get a ton of compliments on them and car wins most shows it is entered in. So I do not think many people think they look out of place.
You can see in the side shot which was from ground level that they do not stick out at all, but are in fact about 1" or a little more tucked under. Anymore and I would have way too much exhaust staining on the rear bumper. The only change I have considered is going to Kooks true dual which would look exactly the same.
To each their own though. I would not trade my car for anyone else's.

Don't get me wrong! I love how your car looks, but I want them a little further out of sight. The formula bumper slopes up so fast that they are easier to see than on a T/A. That is why I want to tuck them under a little farther. The car in the first post has the tips sticking out way to far, and quite frankly I don't even know why he posted in here... those are obviously not anything close to a corsa tip. A little exhaust staining on the bumper will be rare since I wash the car way too often (probably like the rest of the guys that spend time in the appearance section of the board). lol

Mine only stains because of the stroker and the white paint. If you are stock, it will not likely have any real staining. My starts in just one day, but I like you mine is cleaned it often.
I understand what you are saying about being tucked in further, you will love the look of them.

I'd rather run no tips.
