There are some decent pics in the link I posted from the original person who did this. I would take some more for you, but mine are now covered in crap from the snow storm and the road salt. Won't have decent enough weather to clean until the end of the week.

For those that were following to hear about the exhaust tips from alibaba. I've never seen the mode ones but I wouldn't doubt they are identical. I ordered on 10/30/20 and received them today. They were well packaged and quality appears to be good. I followed the original write up (link in this thread) , clipped all the tabs and had them installed in about 10min. I got the black chrome finish ones. I guess I could've ordered the chrome/silver ones and Powdercoated them but didn't feel like getting out my setup and firing up the oven. They look pretty good and overall I'm happy with them. Attached are a few pics.

They look identical and I bet they are. Nice find. $100 cheaper and they got to you much quicker!

From there, I had decided on painting them and was ready to order the paint when someone pointed this out...

Decided to take a chance and give it a shot. Ordered from Australia on 10/3. $256.49 USD shipped (Last DHL shipping update was 10/9) and the vendor was super responsive saying shipping was taking longer than normal. They magically showed up yesterday! Loved them right out of the box.

So, in the Burger thread above, the OP cut the ends of the tabs of inside (you do this because, remember, these aren't made for the F85/86). I didn't have tin snips so I just bent the tabs flat with pliers. You have to lift them up and be careful not to damage the mouth of the exhaust tip. WARNING! - I was bending the tips back at first to work from the back of the tip and I broke a whole tab off. Thanks god it went on securely with 4 and my hack job repair on the one I broke.

Before:

After:

Had to be patient (not my strong suit) and wait a day after I ceramic coated them:

Finally put them on today. It's snowing like crazy here so my pictures stink with no room backed into my garage. Will add better pictures when weather is better and the M is clean. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with how they fit and look. I did flatten the tabs inside as much as I could with my thumbs as my initial test fit showed they were going to take a ton of force to get them on. After flattening, they slide right on and almost click into place. They aren't going anywhere.

Anyway, if you've been on the fence or waiting for me to be the guinee pig, DO IT!
Yo. Thank you man. Looks very nice!!!

Looks like your AliExpress seller only has the blue available. Guess I have to wait until black in back in stock.

$261 is not a bad deal for all 4. How much is Ali?

Mode black exhaust tips.

Just installed a set of Mode exhaust tips in black chrome. Very easy to install and makes it look so much better!

Just ordered these aswell from Ali. I’ve been debating on doing different exhaust tips for awhile now so I’m looking forward to getting these. Does anyone have pictures from further away? I just want to see if it’s a noticeable difference.
