Default little help on exhaust

i've seen people put a custom chrome exhaust on there civic and supras and i wanted to know where you get them. somone said they were pieces of a pen they bought at staples. i dont think there is a staples anywhere close to me but i did look at office depot and didnt see anything. i'd like to know if anyone has a picture of what the pen looks like so that if i see it i can buy it.

thanks for any help,

Matt

I've only seen the tut for the stupid black exhaust tips.. and those are taken from the mechanical pencils.. I would also like to know how to get the custom chrome ones though.
