Nice. They remind me of the JDM stock tips on the BRZ. Why we got screwed here in the US... Oh well

Does it sound the same? Pepboys says it increases horsepower lol

Don't buy the DC Pro Sport tips.

The paint is already starting to lose its color and its been a few months. The screws are rusted to hell, at this point i'm starting to think its unsafe to have on the car because i don't want the screws to break, then the tips hit some ones car and i cause an accident.

Not worth it, not one bit.

I have a shitty point and shot camera so i can't get that good of shots.





The bottom screw has rusted the most, its lost its shape so i can't really take it out with a wrench.

I've only had these on for a few months, maybe about 3 or 4? There has only been one day where we have snow here in Long Island, nothing else is rusting on the car 'cept these screws.


The tips themselves appear to have a more aged greyish dark black look, others it might not bother but i'll try to take a picture when they aren't dirty.

^^have you tried using a chrome polish on the tips? That'll probably bring back the shine. As for the bolts, that's pretty bad since the little bracket is rusting as well, and will just continue to eat away at the tips too (looks like they are a bit already).

Yeah, the tips are basically garbage now. I think the paint is being effected in the inside from the heat as well.


Stay away from them, i sure as hell won't be buying anything from DC ever again...

That sucks. I did look at these as well, but glad I ended up spending more on the JDM tips. Too bad that they are poor quality, because they do look good!

thats what i wanted to know... that sucks... hope mine lasts longer than that... its been raining constantly here in so cal since i put it on...

When its not too cold i'll try to take them out. Maybe get some inside shots.

I'm interested to hear what the other people who have had the tips longer then me have...maybe no rust? Maybe i'm not lucky.

How often have you washed your car since you got the tips?

Pretty often, but i do the washes myself so it be pretty difficult to get water directly under the car if i don't aim for it.


Even then if i did get a "commercial" car wash for every week, this damage done in three months is pretty bad. Don't even wanna think about how it'll be in a year...
