Default Chrome exhaust tips, SS Inserts etc

I am wanting to add chrome exhaust tips to my stock 99 exhaust. I want the look now, since even though I would like the sound of a new exhaust system that will have to be later on. So does anyone have any thoughts on where or what type to buy? Also I am wanting to add the chrome insert lettering on the back of my black 99. I see SS Inserts have them as well as Ecklers. But they are plastic, any coments good or bad on one or the other? Thanks for the help. I want the added look of inserts, tips and back plate but want a good deal at a reasonable price till I get the whole new exhaust......

SS Inserts make the best letters and are really nice to do business with. Most of the parts venders (MAD, Ecklers etc) have the tips.

I had the Corsa Hot tips. They looked great. Now I have the Borla Stingers and she sounds nice too.

High quality exhaust tips will run you $80-$90per tip. Times 4, thats $240-$360. Why not go out on the forum and find a used ti, or other brand of used after market system?

I put some Corsa tips on my 98. Fit right over the stock tips and add a lot to the looks for not too much $ (about $120 for the set of 4 tips).
