Yesterday I had the corsa pace cars w/Pro tips installed. While the installer took his time leveling the tips I notice a slight angle (toe-in) to the middle on each set. For me It's noticable, I imagine if I throw a straight edge across the face of the tips it'll be even more apparent. Is this normal or do they need additional tweaking. Anybody else have this problem?

Some Borla Stingers have the same problem. Not real noticable though unless you get crazy and start running stright lines.
During the install I took a look while the car was on the lift and the installer said that because of the different angles the rear throws he puts the car on the ground and checks alignment from 30' back. Seemed reasonable and the tips are level just when looking closer they appear to point in.

If your not happy with it make him fix it or take it someplace else and get it aligned however it looks best to your eye.
I got the Corsa Pro Tips on my 2000 Vert, have a heck of a time getting them aligned, Corsa even sent me a new Drivers over the axle pipe, did not fix alignment problem, next they sent me a new muffler, still did not fix the problem. Finally I took the car to an exhaust shop who took the over the axle pipe and put it on a pipe bender and took some of the bend out and finally got the tips even, also tack welded everything to keep it in place. Muffler guy told me just about all aftermaket systems he has installed need some sort of tweeking the get them right. He notes that all cars are just enough different that alignment issues are always a problem.
