Angry Exhaust tips for 01 C4, is there a solution to this unfortunate?

the limitation to exhaust tips on porsches is becoming annoying. That's all there is, just a opening and not too many options. You pay all this money for exhaust (pse) and it does not even come with tips. Some sites sell tips (only tips) for close to 500.00 for pair. that is crazy.
so my pain is that for my car i am stuck with the boaring tips and there is no option out there unless you guys have some ideas.

01 C4 with aero.

i heard from some people that on my car there is no other choice for tips.

I put RUF chrome tips on my pse. They are expensive but they look awesome. You can check them out on the RUF website.

I had to go through the same epsiode and pay the $500 or so dollars for the sport exhaust tips, the non-sport pipe ends look like little lawnmower exhaust pipes in the openings, plus when you add the tips it improves the sound even more..dude sounds like you are dumping major dollars into this car like I did with MY00 coupe..IMHO all porsches NEED 3 items after factory

1) suspension coil over
2) exhaust (unless car has PSE)
3) short shift

AFTER THAT IT IS ALL PERSONAL PREFERANCE...

Cool yeah you are correct, i have so far

done the
1) clear side markers (myself, woohoo) (50)
2) OEM Sport Exhaust called PSE (1800 Inc*)
3) OEM Short Shift Kit (530 Inc*)
4) Doing PSS9 Coilovers next week with spacers. (~3000 Inc*)
5) Tint (240)
6) Subwoofer install (1000 Inc*)
7) Highbeam opens garage door (40.00 myself)
8) Alum Brake/Shifter (750 next week)
9) OEM Spacers (300 next week)

$7710 so far after owning the car for 1 year ( i should have done this sooner) this is the way they should come from factory...

the above prices included installation

If i do wheels in next 6 to 12 months, that is around 5k.
I am holding off on that one, cause i want to stick to my 18's with spacers for now.
wheels are biggy decisioneee my friends.

The Porsche tips are okay, but when looked at next to the RUFs they look kind of lame.

I found this site www.mindovermotorsports.com . Chris there will sell the Fabspeed tips for $334. He says they look just like the Porsche sport tips. I don't know about quality though. Can anybody comment on that?
