New Exhaust Tips for my 997.1

So when I had my shop install mufflers from Fisker Motorsports (very happy with them!), they polished my 11 year old chrome tips. The looked better, but were still pretty worn.

I checked with the Porsche dealership and new ones were $550 each! Then I found exactly what I was looking for from Softronic. Black chrome ones with the "turbo" look. LOVE THEM!

Nice. I have some larger tips on the way myself, black chrome as well.
They look awesome.

That's more of a PSE look than turbo, turbo are equal sized tips. Looks nice.

I found a set of Akrapovic CF tips at a junk yard off a .2 that are black.

Nice, guys. Both look sharp. I did a pair of satin black powder coated. Look really good too. Black is a definite upgrade from brushed stainless. They got SO dirty. So quickly.

One more shot.... Love this new look! They look silver in this picture, but they have a great black chrome look in person. And I love the look of the outer tip being bigger than the inner tip.
