Quality Tips

At last, I got some tips to my spec.
I had them custom made in polished stainless, no chrome to corrode.
Slightly rounder than stock , and slightly bigger. They also have a tapering
pipe so you can't see holes. Sound slightly deeper and look, kiss kiss Quality Tips-tips-003.jpg

Very nice, and high quality. The whole ride is a class act. Congrats!

The only concern I have is putting the steering wheel and controls in front of the passenger!

thanks for the gesture.

You don't need to spend a fortune to get an icon, just plenty of elbow
grease

Presumably you had to have the old tips cut off. Who made the new ones for you?

Sure a local exhaust cut the old off and a company called Miltek made the
stainless tips, had to wait a few weeks though. Then they were welded
back on. Just a few little bits makes your car look special.

Thanks Thericker I appreciate your comments

I love this car, my only worry is, can you polish a car too much

Sold my broomsticks to the local witch
