Hey Last5 (forgive my ignorance) do you know if the 3.0i has st/steel oem tips, same as yours ??
If you don't know then hopefully our learned friends like weasel, Ucrew, X5dawg may put in 2 cents as I am keen to do this tip polish myself, but only if confirmed st/steel.
Also it appears that their are fine raised lines/ribs on the outer surface, did you have the same ??
