Coated OEM exhaust Tips :)
After much debate on what exhaust tips to go with I decided to have my OEM ones coated matte black. VERY happy with the turn out! Anyone thinking of doing this...do it! enjoy

Those look great. DIY or did you send them out? I had mine ceramic coated satin black but they could stand a little freshening up.

You definitely have a rear-end worthy of posting there.

So are they flat black or a satin? I know you can get flat and glossy PC Blacks but I have yet to see a satin. I have a great power coater nearby that could probably do it. The Ceramic coating I have is very thin and starting to flake a bit here and there after three years/20k miles.

looks amazing. I have a set of AWE with the black chrome, its just not as dark as I hoped for. thinking of doing the powder coat after their newness wears off. Did the plating need any sanding or prep?
