Default High sport appearance

just finished mounting high sport ground effects to my 02 ss, now I need exhaust extensions (tiPs) and I will take some pics. This was time consuming and rough. has anyone else done this? any before and after pics? did you go broke on the mounting clips like me?

Nope, that is the ONLY way to separate the front and rear lips (cut, I believe 13 little slots) - which is partially what deterred me from doing it. That and the grounds from GM are about 1,500.
