I agree, the stock tips look cheap and nasty. The poor quality plating only adds to that impression.
Are you sure they're friction fit ? I took a quick look and thought they were welded on ? They're definitely not riveted on like the M3 items.
I'm looking into alternatives using thick wall (1.5/2.0 mm) stainless tube like that used on the E46 M3. I plan to reduce the amount they stick out, slash cut the tips at 10/15 degrees and stagger them in line with the diffuser. Ideally I'd like them black or ceramic coated.
