Default Old school exhaust tips

Sup guys,
Since I’ve bought my Jag I’ve been tried to find solution for rear tips, because the stock looks so poor. I tried the Audi RS4 style oval tips, but it looks so modern. Then I found the “look down” tips and these tips are perfect. Not to big, not to small.
Thoughts?

It really shouldn’t matter what others think of your exhaust, it’s your car. Personalize it your way.

I’ve never seen crown wheels chrome before. I think they look great! I put a set (powder coated silver) on my 98’ XJR before I gave the car to my daughter. RTV those center cap$ on!

. . . that said, and you asked, you truly can't believe these look better than the originals?

Whilst I don’t wish to upset or offend you, those tips are what are generally fitted to diesel powered cars, and imo don’t suit the X308. There were two types of OEM tips on the X308, small oval ones on the NA cars whilst the supercharged cars got bigger round tips.

On my previous X308 I had a custom exhaust system fitted and had a beautiful pair of billeted Round tips from a Range Rover Sport on the ends. They really looked the part.

I'm going to be another who says he doesn't like those turned down tips, but then I don't like the tinted glass either. So I guess we're quite different in our car tastes even though we've both got X308s.

I kind of go for the KISS approach. (Keep It Simply Stock) I have seen some upgrades that were interesting,
however, none that justified the expense.
