Is it me, or does $500 clams seem like a lot of money for a couple of chrome exhaust tips?

No it isn't you! I've long thought these were outrageously overpriced- there are many more worthwhile additions available for your car for the same amount of money.

Kind of reminds of the $700 Porsche wanted for the "footwell lighting" option.

Alternative to shelling out $500: get 'em chromed yourself.
Cost me about $70 over a year ago and they look as good as when I got them back from the plater, even after a bunch of (hot) track days. Just a thought if you want to save some dough.
BTW, I agree that $500 is waaay out of line for tips. Think of what you can do with the car for that much and all you're getting is chrome tips..., but that's just me.
