4.6 Tips + LED sidemarkers Installed

So I finally switched out my magnaflow tips (which were sticking out too much/not too appealing) to 4.6 tips (thanks jayjay04x5) and they look alot better. now I'm just debating whether or not to get the 4.6 exhaust plastic trim or leave it as is..

I also got the Bimmian LED clear sidemarkers, which look WAY better than stock, and match my clear headlights. Very easy to install too.

Let me know what you guys think

Nice one mt, or should I say nice 2 mods.
BTW is the RHS tip a little off level or is it an optical illusion ?? Definately go with exhaust surround, finish em off nice n tidy.

thanks guys!

mrbmwx5- now i just need a 4.6 kit and i'll be set. (then again it still looks nice as is)

askhao- they must be welded on

X Foomph- nice catch, they are a bit off. We decided to leave them a bit because, as you know, i have an aftermarket system. after driving a bit with the last tips, the tips started to become crooked. so we decided to wait for a week so that if they moved even more we could adjust them all at once.


next mods:

DICE kit on the way from Tom G.
possible subwoofer from BSW/JL/ or custom option
finally repair front passenger headlight because larger angel eye is not as bright as the rest (hopefully on the way next week? been waiting forever)

good job Mo, they look better... yeah, you definitely need to get those finishing trim, less than $20 for a pair i believe...
