the originals look 10x better IMO, although i have heard that the qaulity of those tips is outstanding.....I just wish they had a rolled edge so that they could be easily seen from directly behind the car.....

That's because my mommy told me that if I had nothing nice to say...well, you get the rest. So count this as the 2nd time you've heard negative feedback...they don't look good. They would look one meeeeellion times better with a rolled lip to me, but it is your car. I wouldn't put those on mine in a meeeellion years.

What ones, all I see is a big black spot. There needs to be a lip around the tip, no matter what, or they turn invisible.

There aren't a whole lot of tips that if you take a picture of straight on are going to look like much. When you're standing up looking at the car, that low angle does not come into play. I'm sure they'd look nice from an angle and all polished up.

This is mine. I do agree with the stock CME tips looking better then the aftermarket ones. But the stock ones are so friggin pricey.
