Thanks again @Thefalls, I was able to "solve" the tip issue !

With the "kouki" model (2017 MY) in North America they have replaced the rear muffler and the midpipe for a similar design with better materials. For a weird reason, they shorten the length of output exhaust pipe by 2".

I already bought and installed JDM tips, but they didn't quite do the job as @Thefalls pointed out.

A close friend who still have is "13 FR-S had his OEM muffler that was taking dust, he let me test fit it and it does the trick ! I'll do a DIY for that, I still need to make some minor adjustment. I had to use my OEM USDM tip to look good, otherwise the JDM tips were out of the bumper by 2".

I've installed my black mirror caps, really like the look. When I've installed the TRD vent trim I always find the white mirrors caps to pop out a little bit too much. Now they blend with all the black accent, and the real GR have them too soo... lol

I've installed too my silver stitched OEM hand brake boot, really stupid that they didn't put them into the "base" 86. Anyway now the interior is complete. I loooovve the GR steering, still can't believe I've found it !
