normally i would say no but with your ground affects if you notch the bumper and have them how it shows in the picture i think it will look good since you won't be able to see them from the sides.

Only tips if you do a matching license plate frame so that the tip color won't be alone in a sea of black, otherwise I think tips would look out of place if that makes sense.

Go with tips...but paint them with high-temp flat black. Fits perfect with your punisher theme, and would look like a pair of artillary cannons ready to destroy the car behind you. Dooooo it

I say tips, but not just any tips. They have to be a 3-3.5" tip. Your car has a menacing look to it, so having some puny exhaust sticking out the back would ruin the look. You need to have this gigantic exhaust sticking out the back saying "yep, I'm such a badass that I NEED exhaust this big."

I've always liked the tips... I actually like the look of skinny tips, reminds me of old hot rods.

Tips, no questions. You need something to help fill it up back there. Some 3" would be the way to go. And yeah, paint or shine your tank cover.

Tips = Yes

As insulting as it is, tips are the only way my wife will know your car is a GT.

hehe, thanks for the words, guys.

i'd definitely get at least a 3" tip--3.5" to be sure, and rolled.

i hadn't considered painting them flat black--that idea is KILLER!!! that is going to happen for sure!

i've also been meaning to paint/shine the gas tank cover. as a matter of fact, i was going to do that today but i ran out of the high-temp black spray i was using to spray the fox valve covers we put on.

i'm running the stock springs up front (w/ 1.5 coils cut) and clamps on the rear springs out back. the body kit is from ABC exclusive and yes, i did notch out the lower section, hence why i'm considering the tips.

thanks for the comments, gents!

I voted no tips based solely on the fact your car is all black, the chrome or polished tips will add bling to an otherwise non bling car. I likee the no tipee....
