C280 Schatz exhaust tips
Well after a lot of looking around I decided to get the real thing and spent a ton on real Schatz exhaust tips. I have heard both sides of the story, that they look good and they look stupid. Well here are some pictures. I am really on the fence and have 30 days to return them as long as they are undamaged. So far they were just slid into place for the photos and are now back in the box. What do you think?

I'll pretty much echo that. Like em from the back...hate em from the side. Unfortunately, I think you're going to have to spring for the real thing if you want to upgrade the look.

Ok, Ok I'm bailing. They are going back. At least this little experiment is only going to cost me the return shipping. Thanks for the feedback.

So here is plan B. Good stainless steel polish and 6 minutes with an old sock. At least now it looks good hanging out from under the car.

Satisfied, Greg
