I don't think @Acme is suggesting that bumper mounted tips SHOULD be welded to the exhaust, just that if the tips aren't physically attached then they are fake, no ifs or buts, they are just pointless and fake.I like the idea that you think that is even possible. Just have to ignore
- heat of exhaust melting plastic
- vibration and movement during various engine movements
- thermal expansion of a hot exhaust making it longer
hence exhaust trims when integrated to the bumper pretty much are impossible to actually weld to the exhaust!
Even worse when you can see the peashooter within.
