Default Vote on exhaust tips

I just took this pic to show off my new personalized plate, and realized how stupid those small stock tips look. I think I want some oval tips, most likely Mecham knockoffs. I need to get some opinions on what color to go with.

Stainless
Black

Please vote. And don't let this turn into a discussion on my license plate. That thread is in the general section.

Yah those do look terrible.

I'd go with stainless, you'll hardly be able to see black.

Nice LP! LOL

This is my SLP LM tip painted all black but the lip. I'm thinking of going true dual soon. Don't know if I'm going to keep the tip or not. I'm looking at using the Loudmouth 2 ends as my tips with 3" all the way back... Still up in the air...

That's the ones I was considering. Just not sure of black or chrome (or whatever they are).

I'm not a big fan of the center-mount tips. I'm driving a car, not a jet ski or space ship of some sort. I think they look okay on other peoples' cars, but for me, I want it to look like a hot rod.

If I had a camaro I wouldnt have any tips whatsoever. Tips interfere with the smooth lines of the bottom of the bumper. Go with some true duals dumped.

:-p Covers the tint bubbles at the top. I keep it white because of all the negative comments it gets. LOL If the tint could stick inbetween the bumps GM put in the glass I wouldn't have it at all. Sorry you don't like the tail lights. If I worked for GM...? That was king of a assholeo thing to say! We were talking about tips I thought but if you want to be a ***** then lets take a look at your POS cama... oh ya, I love all Camaros. Sorry I'm not as big a ***. You win!

Go ahead. You can call my 12,000 mile, Limited Edition, 6-speed, FULL SLP treatment, Super Sport Camaro a piece of **** all you want. But fact is, it's worth a lot more than your's, and cost more than a Corvette in 2002. Worth every dime.

Duals dumped looks good, clean lines. Sometimes though it looks like something is missing, and some Corsa or B&B tips can fill in that emptiness.

Jesus, your a jackass. I looked around for some pics of this badass ride seeing how you have this info in your sig but found a post about how you don't have a FBody just a Fiero...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/introductions-greetings/494669-hi-i-m-aaron-i-don-t-have-ls1.html

So is this worth more then a Vett "in 2002" so lets bash on other Camaros to make you feel better about your daddy's ride have any pics? From the post in 04-24-2006 on how you don't own a Camaro makes this real funny "worth every dime"...

I said you win jackass... No Camaro is a peace of **** to me. If you could understand the things you read... You don't like the rear of my car. Its mostly stock with SLP LM, Euro Black tail lights and some vinyl on the glass. How do I live with myself? Oh ya, I paid in full two years ago for my SS...

BACK TO THE POINT:

I don't like dumped. Seems good for drag racing and all but after driving around with no muffler for a year I think I would like to hear my stereo again some day... Big tips coming out the back of a Chevy has ALWAYS been sexy to me...
