Default Sharkwerks TIPs came in!!!!!!

My Sharkwerks tips came in!!! They REALLY will improve the aggressiveness of the rear look. I love the center pipe look. But the rolled tip is... well not as aggressive as I would like. BUT THESE!! THESE finish off the look!! These get the look I really like!!! I havent got them on yet but here is a comparison of the stock tip vs the Sharkwerks piece O Art!!

Those looks exactly like the ones Stuttgart Performance makes for Cargraphics.

May I ask how much this tip is from sharks? TIA

This is why I really enjoy this forum.... Most people would call this behaviour obsessive, but I must fit right in. I agree COMPLETELY that those tips look much better. Nice choice OG.

A few years back, I tried the retired-thing as a young bachelor. It didn't work so well. I ended up obsessing over my blender in the kitchen as its color didn't exactly "work" with the look/tone of the other appliances. However, the blender made perfect smoothies so was not worth getting rid of.... Let's just say that issue made me realize that I needed to get back to work....

I'm still that way with the "3" and Speedster, so it is nice to know I have found like-minded people!

Post pics once they are put on!

Those are sweet OG. They look quite a bit larger in diameter than the stock tips--or is it just the photo angle?

The Sharkwerks are 87 mm and go for $300.00 and only come in black, as they should!

The Cargraphics are 89 mm and are 300 Euro for stainless and 400 Euro for black chromeed. Cargrapchics also has 100 mm rolled ones for 500 Euros for the polished and 600 Euros for the black chromed!

I get mine tomorrow and will be installing them in the 15 minutes that it takes to do so. Here is a picture of them on Kermit:

You should have yours by tomorrow BTW I think I found another way to save a few pounds (three to be exact). But there are other benefits... Guess what that is
