Default WTB 09 convertable exhaust tip

Greetings,
I just bought an 09 Convertible New Beetle and I want to pick up the exhaust tip. The dealer wanted 150! Can anyone recommend a place to purchase one at a more reasonable price? Thanks in advance.

Ebay, Pep Boys, everywhere else... Exhaust tips are generic; anything that fits on the end of the pipe is fine. Unless you were asking about some particular style found at the dealer?

The generic ones will not fit without modification because the NB tailpipes curve down toward the ground.

Here's a possibility:

Good luck!!!

Well, you could always chop the curved part off... Nevertheless, I stand corrected. Thanks.

Why does it always say "will not fit diesel"??? Are the tips really THAT different????
