Porsche stainless steel oval shaped. They're dirty so its hard to tell but the look sweet when the cars clean and they have functional resonators in them.

Looks good. Now go take some better quality pics. Where did you get the paint from? I also really like the contrast between the blue and the silver. Car looks lowered too.

Its all House of Kolors paint and I had to break open the bank for it. At first I was scared that the colors would contrast to much, but I wanted the Silver to have almost a chrome look so I took a gamble and it came out perfect.

Sweet colors, but why didn't you have the holes from the grill insert filled? It looks really unfinished like that in my opinion.
