The tips alone look great.... I have a problem with the way that there mounted.... The way they hang down below the bumper line makes them look like an after thought rather than if the bumper was notched to make them look as if they were part of the car.

They look OK when viewed directly behind the car (but not great). They hang down too low under the bumper. They look really bad from the side view. The bend and the fact that thet are under the bumper looks out of place.

Another thumbs-down vote. If you want visible exhaust tips, there is no decent-looking alternative on a W211 to cutting semi-circles in the rear valance, or whatever it's called. The curved exhaust tips defeat the whole point of non-functional cosmetic mods, which is, lookin' good. They look bad. Sorry to be blunt, but I presume that you want honest opinions, and you're getting them.

I do have to agree with you guys. Hanging under the bumper without cut outs doesn't looks right. The 3/4 view also doesn't look right. I really like what CalBenzo did with actual catback exhaust and tips but I'm having second thoughts about how loud it would be on a luxury car. I love loud exhaust (with popping and backfire) but more on a sports car. Just looking for an alternative.

That doesn't look very good. Like everyone else has already said it just sticks out too low. If you had a bodykit to reduce how much it hangs down, then maybe it would look better.
