Ditto.... The tips help the heat get past the bumper's edge.

Agree. drove 10 min max tips off. Prob less than 10 minutes again in 2 wks when I pick them up. max speed 35 mph; surface streets.

Thanks for your concern. Did feel all around the dead space after my drive today . No plastic/urethane piece felt too warm.

Here are my tips. These are not the tips from my car, they are exchanged with FD Motorsports who also did my Gundo Hack. He took my tips off and installed the ones in the pic and then had mine ceramic coated and someone else will get those.

I paid $ 60.00 for the tips and had them put on when I did the Gundo Hack. Love the look of the tips and they came out exactly the way I wanted.
