I didn't like the tips that came with the Corsa Ti system. I liked the two-tip look, but I prefered a stock-Ti-looking tip (which I was unwilling to cut off of my stock Ti system).
So, I bought some Magnaflow tips, had them tac-welded to a piece of exhaust tubing with a female end, then cut slits in the ends to allow the tubing to slip-fit over the Ti and tighten onto the Ti with the Corsa clamps.
This is somewhat unique since you can't otherwise weld tips to Ti. I had to improvise to get a tip that I liked onto the Ti system. I love them!

Two can be seen here. First, the Brembo brake kit does not come in yellow. I had these painted Millineum Yellow over two years ago, and it's holding up great. Second the SW front air dam is pretty rare, but I had mine "molded" into the front facia. Well, as good as you can mold fiberglass to urethane anyway...
SW rear facia, but the CORVETTE letters were filled in, sanded and smoothed out.
Clear front license plate cover with border painted to match body.
Most aftermarket seats I see are cloth and one piece. These are two piece (they recline) and leather.
Sorry for the big pics, I'm not smart enough to know how to re-size them.
