well I dont like my tips now since I got my new tails. I bought a pair of square ones, but they dont look right, so I want to know what you think of this idea.
having 4 tips come out the middle of the rear bumper? Just like the vettes. I was going to do ones coming out of the back up lights, but I like having them at night.

I have the bars cut out of the bumper so it looks empty there, and want to fill it up, plus you can see my muffler hanging there. I think the 4 tips in the middle would look cool. what you guys think?

I think it looks good with the tips toward the outside where the rear bumper scoops up (like you have them now). It would look good if you put them in the middle, and made a shroud to fill the area to the left or right out to where the bumper has its normal height along the sides. either way though, I think it would also look better to have the tips tucked under an inch or so more.

I was thinking of getting a stainless steel plate cut to fill in the 2 sides if I did get 4 round tips and put them in the middle of the bumper.
heres some pix form this past winter.

or I get 2 new tips or keep these and just tuck them under the bumper more and then get a stainless steel plate cut to fill in between the tips and have PONTIAC cut into it and have red lights behind it to shine at night.

4 Pipes coming out of the middle like the Vette's would be a sick design as long as you fill in the stock cut outs for the factory exhaust :drool: I never have seen it done, and i know how you like to "stand out" from the rest of the GA's

Thanks Tom! Ya I dont have the middle part in the bumper anymore. Cut that out last summer. So If I get something made to fill in the 2 sides it should look good.

tuck these ones under more and fill in the center, im not sure about stainless there or not maybe just a flat black of charcoal plate. the grand am cutout would be cool too.

both ideas sound good as long as they're well-executed. would you have the red lights on with the tail lights, and then brighten with the brakes?

I like that idea of having them with the brakes too.
