Also not a fan of any writing on tips unless its etched/engraved.

So you can choose how deep to set them right? I feel like some other pics of the CYBA tips they stick out more, especially the angle cut dry carbon tips.

I believe IND uses OEM tips. Cyba tips are made in Asia and shipped directly to the customer. Cyba is on the forum here and interacts with customers directly. Unless things have changed.

Heh john

I note the cold nut around the grub screw....do these come loose with heat/vibration.

Last question...any reason why you didn't get your oem tips coated locally?

Nope never come loose, kept my Original Tips to put back on the Car come sale time, then I can sell the Tips or see if they fit the next car.
PS) I double nutted them sprayed black to make sure or a strong fix.

Do they need to be positioned a certain way so that u can easily access the nuts to tighten? Are the nuts difficult to tighten once mounted?

Just got my tips today - they look great to say the least. Look self explanatory, but question for guys that did install on their own since ive read removing the oem tips can be tough if theyve been on for a while. Whats best way to remove, is it a turn then a pull? Im assuming turn left to release the spring clip and it will come right off?
