I was thinking they didn't quite look right. Oval does look better think it's due to curves of the J Lol

car looks good :cool

most places will not cut out the trim for the tail pipes they leave that to you
and changing them now to go up a bit will be hard now they dont look that bad

It didn't look like it was, I must be going blind Lol

When I popped into Mike stokes to get a price they moaned that I shouldn't have cut out the trim as it might be wrong, I did explain the chassis is setup for a duplex system and I have a factory tip I want to use with the mounting plate they seemed a little confused Lol.
