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.

Before
Chrome trim fitted

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

Looks very nice mate
very similar look to the Janspeed with inward roll IMO

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)

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........

Looks nice and shiny though compared to the old pipe

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

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 .

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

See my post ref exhaust tip (stainless) cheap solution..........

Unfortunately the chrome ones turn to rust in a couple of months

Have you tried cleaning the standard with CIF?! I remember JiberJaber did a brilliant job on his.

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 !
