They are from a kit SLP made for the GTX grandprix. I wanted square tips to better fit the bumper cutouts but i had to settle for these being the closest

Maybe, try it and see what happens. Otherwise, I vote for regular dual dual or dual single tips.

The black decals look good. You might be ready for the !side molding mod. Makes car look really clean and highlights the "Trans Am" on the sides.

i flipped them tonight but its too dark for a good pic, ill post one up tomorrow ! thanks for the input guys... gotta love a community that looks out for one another. ricers can never say that. (i've seen too many type-r stickers, enough said )

and i think i kinda like it. damn, i hate when im wrong! know anyone else running these tips though? i had to experiment with something different, too many sheep out there all using the same tips. sometimes i get the feeling if you dont have borla,corsa, or gmmg oval tips you cant get any respect. how about a thumbs up for originality once in a while ???

What id really like to find are square tips that fit the rear cutouts perfectly. This trend is becoming very popular,(matching the tips to the bumper cutouts ) and i think it looks clean and mean. If you notice more newer cars are starting to do this, look at the acura TL & porsche 911 for example:


but we all know the best cutout / tip matching combo is still the OLDSCHOOL...
