I'll throw in my opinion... NX wax is great for the price! I use it on my SS as well as my black GTP. 
The tips look great man! Cant wait to get my car back from EPP with my new CME mounted up! Woot!

Thats what I was thinking.
Has anyone tried painting them black? I wonder if that would look good.

Oh, and in that pic, they were dirty...hadn't been cleaned in over a week, and I daily drive the car (it is my only car).
To the original poster, you use the same stuff to clean yours that I use on mine. Makes them much easier to keep clean IMO!

I love the CME. My looks like sh_t. The exhaust has baked into the aluminum and made it very smooth and impossible to clean. Previous owner never touched them.
Has anyone had any luck sanding them? What grit?
