As I found them still attached! I did not even notice them for the first few months don't laugh I have never seen another eight with them installed in person. I really had no idea. Here is two pics. The second one really makes them look better then they really did.

The fun part after brasso"ing the Eff out of the thing, this is what I got. I put a bit of wax on it after the polish hoping to make it a bit easier to clean next time. I used clear RTV to re attach the rubber grommet to the peace. I Cleaned the grommet with vinegar are hot water. I also had to be trimmed about a half inch. Also I used a bit of painters tape to hold the grommet down while the rtv dries. LOL sorry I will not tell you about my coins....

I know! Odd. My car came with the most odd equipment ever. It is a 05 with a six speed a spoiler, no body kit, no Hid, DSC, fog lights. sun roof and cloth seats. It truly is the only one like it I have ever seen. I think it may even be a bit rare. When I got her the exhaust was Black it had these finishers and they were black. I got it from the first owner. Oddness! Ill show pics of the finishers installed tomorrow.

Boy someone didnt keep those exhaust finishers clean. Personally, I'd leave them off and sell them.

Damn dude, told you they were supposed to be shiny!! They match your rims perfect but the trim should be red.

I actually agree with car and driver! Eah they were on there all ready, it would be stupid not to see how they look on the car... Also I think they would look better on my VR then BB or GG that is for sure!
