Should I powdercoat my Exhaust tips?

[Turk]

Well, as the title of the thread asks, should I black out my exhaust tips and powdercoat them? I have a bit of a theme with my car, blue and black. I've gotten rid of all the chrome on the exterior of my car except for the exhaust tips. There isn't even anything resembling silver or metal on the outside of the car anymore. Also, if I powdercoat them, would the "REMUS" symbol remain on the exhaust? The "REMUS" symbol is etched into the exhaust. This is how the car sits now,

Maybe someone could do a photo shop of the tips blacked out. It would help give you a better idea if you really wanna spend the money on getting it done. To me, is it something that annoys you with the tips being chrome? It's a subtle detail that all comes down to you if you really want it.

Me personally, I like it either way.

I thought about black tips also. I'm unsure. I haven't picked up a set of tips either yet though.

The chrome tips don't currently bother me, what I'm wondering, is if the black tips would make the car look better.

Black out the tips and smoke the tail lights.

 

[Turk]

Damn you. Can someone photoshop with tinted tail lights?

I would say no to the tips and do a light tint on the lights but leave the white

Thanks Jeremy. I think if I was to tint the tail lights, I'd do a very light tint. Looks good on the black...

Found some pics of the blue with tinted tails, can't really say that I like them.

Black the tips, leave the lights alone.

I fucking love your car man.

 

[Turk]

Thank you! All this salt on the road is giving me the itch to buy it some sort of xmas present.

Buy it a garage, store that shit. Leave it, as is. Looks complete.

 

[Turk]

Thanks AJ. Seems like half and half on the black tips.

Id black the tips

The black tips would look pimp. I dont know about going that dark with the lights. Maybe a light smoke and leave the white. Just enough to make the red seem like a really dark red?

just makes them kinda look dirty.... and youd still be able to see the rest of the exhaust being stainless so itd kind of ruin the blacked out look anyway
