[QUOTE="gone, post: 317518, member: 5899"] As [USER=8561]Pics999[/USER] points out, it's odd the "build details" say black exhaust tips, whereas it has none and yes, it's a factory installed option so they should be on the car. Also odd the details don't mention the AE package (see the coupe details above, which specifically mention this $5,295.00 plus taxes, option).
