The ass of that car is just too much. That's not a standard spoiler is it?
Yes.
Yes that's stock? No fucking way... why does every other f-body on ebay or wherever have the rear spoiler tail-light at the apex of the end of the spoiler and not at the bottom? That doesn't resemble any oem f-body spoiler i've ever seen.
The only thing that's not factory on the body is the hood. That's a stock Trans Am spoiler.
I think they were discussing the GIANT wing on the red one...

I had dual tip blowmasters on my 94 Z28 and they were smaller than stock (2.5" slant-cut outlets versus flat ~5" rectangles) and the Borla available at the time had probably similar outlet versus stock proportions. Just FYI rice face.

I liked the stock tips, the problems is they neck down to almost 2 - 2.25" internally.
These have 3" inlets.
If only different tips could make my car rev higher, then they would be worthwhile right spotch? 
I'ma polish/gloss black the stock tips, and cut them so they have a 2.5" opening for a "project" that should finish up in a few weeks.
Having said that, back to catfighting!

I like my stock oval tip. I think it looks pretty nice, and I still have retained it on the new catback, mainly because I could not afford a polished tip I wanted, which looks the same way anyway. I'll post a picture when I will get home, or you can see it my cardomain page in my sig.

How is it not rice to put two 7" tips on a car which has (an) exhaust pipe(s) less than 3"? Seems like that's the definition of rice. There's nothing inherent about the way an economy car looks that means a 7" tip will look any different than it will on a moderately fast car. You just know the economy car is slow so you laugh. Well there's no way a moderately fast F-Body needs DUAL 7" tips, so you know it's just for show and not go, hence rice.
I thought this was the performance forum?

I ran out of money. and 80 bucks for a tip seemed a little steep at a time.
Here is a best picture I have of it. I really wish I had some batteries in the camera, but I don't at this time.

They did not have anything that I liked. I would want to replace it with a stock style tip (oval slash cut).

Those tips look good. About the 98, I remember that as well. If you remember, the very first SS camaros of 4th gen, came with SLPs two on the left. I am guessing they tried to do the same for the firebird, and realized that there was a second hole to fill, unlike camaro which just had a flat bottom.

It all depends on the design of the car. Some cars have the rear designed so that anything too small simply looks like crap. The Trans Am rear happens to be one of them. Look at the size of those openings.

Yeah, a Porsche 911 must be a rice bucket too since it has tips larger than the pipe diameter too, right?

I'm not the one who brought up the exhaust tip issue.
There's nothing wrong with making a car look correct.

Call me when they put dual 7" tips on them.

So now styling is an objective thing?

When the hell did I say anything about 7 inch tips? You've said this twice already, but I know I didn't.

Who said it was? Things that look like shit look like shit. Go to a bank in a speedo if you don't believe me.
