Exhaust tips Sedan Liftback
Are there two different part numbers and styles for sedan and liftback? Sedan model shipped for my hatchback model shows a bent tailpipe in the instructions. My liftback clearly has a straight pipe out of the muffler. The exhaust tip is angled...

Someone here posted almost the same thing.. they were sent a sedan TRD tip for their Liftback.. fit was fine, and actually looked better on the LB! Not sure it was an "angled" tip though.
Tom, can you post a pic of which tip you have? |

Did you order from sparks by any chance?
I had the same problem with the tip that arrived last Friday for mine. I emailed Ken and he acknowledged that there was a screw up with the part number on their website. He is shipping a replacement tip to me with a return shipping label for the incorrect part. Sometimes you get a better idea of what kind of outfit you're dealing with when things don't go so smoothly. |

Same here!! Ken responded, but I am a little more than dissapointed. My order took 2 weeks from order to delivery of wrong tip. Good prices and communication but darn slow shipping from my view. |

The Sedan model has either an upward or downward pitch when installed on the LB. It doesn't look as good as in the posted pictures IMO.

I assume I'm getting the correct part Chris. Ken said he was sending it yesterday. If not then yes, I'd be willing to sell it at cost though I'm not sure you'd like it.
BTW - where in NJ are you? I'm in East Brunswick. |

Mine will be in new condition when returned.
Thanks Ken. UPS says my tip was delivered this morning. This has not been the smoothest web transaction I've ever made, but Sparks made everything right and probably lost money on this sale. Ken never tried to make excuses or pull the BS I've had other much larger e-tailers pull (I won't mention names but it rhymes with lambazon.com). |

Tips
Thanks for letting me know. You're right about the losing money part. The posting error by our webperson caused us to inconvenience 4 customers by shipping the wrong parts and we lost about $100.00 in the transactions. Mistakes do happen, but we hate it when we don't end up with happy customers because of it. We've gone through the parts again and we believe that everything is on the site correct now. Thanks again for working with us and for the support. Have a great weekend.

Ken, how about Violin ^ just sends me his/her tip, instead of returning it to you, then you shipping it back? Maybe send a pickup tag, with my address on it? We are both in Jersey btw.

I think she's decided to keep the original one, but if that changes, I'll let you know.
