+1 on the Mother's polish!! I've been using the Mother's metal polish (same stuff I use for my bare polished aluminum wheels on my truck) on my Tanabe tips and it works great. I've even been keeping the inside of the tips cleaned and polished, since they are so huge and you can see right inside of them. If you do do this, be careful not to get any excessive water inside the muffer... I usually just use a wet rag to wipe the inside down before and after polishing them, rather than hosing them off.

It seems the driver's side tips on everyone's was a bit too low... must be a slight imperfection in the jig tanabe uses to make them. It's an easy fix, though, and the rest of the fitment is spot on.
It's funny you mentioned that about your wife... I've had mine on my car for a couple of weeks now and my wife still hasn't noticed yet, and she's driven in the car a couple of times with the new exhaust. She even helped me wash the car yesterday, but I made sure to do the rear myself... I'm just waiting for her to take a close look at the tips and ask WTF are those. LOL
Tanabe Medalion is definitely wife and gf friendly!!

Yup... that logo is laser etched on there, so it would take a lot to wear that off. Plus, it doesn't take much pressure to clean them up, but I'm still extra careful around the logo'd area.
