Default Keep tips or Sell them

So... I got my B&B Exhaust Tips in the mail, and they're a little bigger than i thought, and i dont know how they will look against my Formula Rear bumper...

Should i keep them or sell them?

Also got new wheels (Chrome) to match the chrome tips...

I tried emailing the pics i took on my phone to my email and it would not work. I'll try again tomorrow. IDK, I feel like they would look good, but at the same time i'm iffy, cause of the dual tip to one pipe, and theyre so big.

I didnt want to say anything when you mentioned you bought those tips. I know when they were on a buddys car they looked dumb. I would only go with td dumped or corsa clones with the formula bumper. Anything else either looks to big or sticks out the back of the bumper.

Yeah I personally like the Corsa / Borla style tips... those don't look bad, maybe just a bit too big for my taste though.

I say use them but maybe have someone bend the pipes to get them as close as possible to the license plate area and then make sure they dont stick out from under the car that far and they will look killer.

You also have a Trans Am. Formula bumpers are totally different and what looks good/fills out the back end of a TA might just look like **** on a Formula. Not bein a dick, just sayin.

to OP:
I remembered seeing a B&B triflow on a formula on youtube forever ago, just went to find the video and lone behold it was AChotrod's car small world.

here's the video to give you an idea of what they'd look like on a Formula, maybe he'll chime in with some pictures.

I agree with MasterTomos, Your T/A rear end is alot different then the Formula, so these B7B tips would look killer on your rear end!! LOL

The Magnaflow tips dont look bad IMO

I had planned on having the tips flush with the rear bumper on .5" in from the back of the bumper...

Dont know if that is understandable, but I am kinda going with your idea...

I personally would have never bought them since I do think they look a bit big, but since they came on the car, looked decent and are great quality I rocked them for a bit. A SLP 2OTL looks great on a Formula IMO.

They look great on TAs Its hard to find tips that look great on a Formula. I think these look tons better than a lot of options but 2OTL looks ****.

2OTL is definately a give or take, some guys love it, some hate it. I personally can't stand the look, reminds me too much of a V6 and looks "lop sided" to me. But I can respect that a lot of guys like it and why they like it.

I like the black Z28 rectangle tips on the formulas. Mostly hidden but still look cool. Of course if I had a formula I'd just have true duals dumping at the axle.
