Same question in a thread with more opinions and a picture to help you decide. I say it's ugly/unfinished.

If you made it so the exhaust pipes didn't show it wuldn't look near as bad. But if you have the eBay tips I think it looks really ugly because you see all the piping going back.
Just my opinon.

If you want to buy the SLP CME shoot me an email. I have a couple brand new, never painted or installed ones left.

Would you run the CME valence w/out the tips? Probably not. Because it would look like ****...so no, don't run the tips w/out the valence.

Why don't you have the valence blended in to the bumper? It looks 100 times better & will only run ya a couple hundred bucks to have it done.

I can't answer for him, but im pretty sure he custom made those tips. I think I remember him posting up a while back with the pics and details about him making the tips and doing all the welding and stuff.

That is beautiful. That is the only exhaust setup I would ever go with besides my Corsa. Having that blended is the ONLY way to go.
