Since I bought my IS 200 in late Jan I have been looking for a chrome trim - tried ebay but no joy - Halfords are the only place I could find a trim of 80mm diameter.

The one I bought was about £ 15.00 - needed to to some modifications to the bolt fixings - shorten them and remove a fixing bracket on the trim which was easily unscrewed.

Pics attached.

Looks a lot neater and a quick fix mod.
This is where the modding bug starts!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, it's alot better than before. But it looks out of place and cheap for some reason, I can't quite put my finger on it (not literally) tomato.gif

It doesn't look right to me either, not sure if it's just the angle of the photo, but it makes it look like the pipe is a lot smaller........ unsure.gif

Looks nice and shiny though compared to the old pipe msn-wink.gif

It does look neater right enough, but makes the tailpipe look a bit smaller huh.gif

If it's the same as the one I got from Halfords (loads of japanese writing on box) you may find it goes a funny shade of gold after a while glare.gif .

I actually quite like it, lot better than before anyway. smile.gif

I fitted exactly the same trim to my IS 300 - it looked fantastic for about a day then it turned a horrid shade of gold !
