I'm literally at AAA Muffler as I post this.

I am changing out my exhaust tips and I'm considering dual black powder coated slanted and staggered.

I figured w/my blacked out emblem and grills, I'd follow suit w/the tips. But wasn't sure how it would look against my chrome muffler & wheel lip?!

I eventually will go quads, when I decide on the diffuser.....buts that's later down the mod street!

Opinions? Thoughts? Suggestions are all welcome.

Not exactly sure what it would look like on your car, but it will follow your theme.

Went w/the black tips, all impulse! They held it up and looks good! Gonna take some getting use to since I've always had chrome tips.

Thx for the input guys!

SoCalM5Mang had black tips on his quad exhaust and I think they look awesome! He got them done at AAA also.

That looks great! I was considering doing this since I was also thinking about a black chrome badge and black and grey carbon fiber emblems. Nice choice!
