Ok so I'm getting ready to have my quad exhaust finally fabricated and wanted to get your guys' opinion on the tips. I bought the AAA eisenmann style tips and I'm not sure if I want chrome tips on my all black car. Mind you I don't have anything chrome on the exterior of the car so I'm thinking of going with a few options:
1) Leave chrome:

2) Sand tips so they look like brushed aluminum (like below):

3) Powdercoat tips black
