Default Painted my Hooker!?

Well I'm sure like a lot of you guys, you don't think the tips that come from the hooker's packaging are the greatest. Well I agree, they're not the best or the worst. So, I decided until I get some extra' cash to get Corsa tips, I'd make do with what I got. Forgive me if I stole any body's idea here. But I did search this forum as well as other sites and came up empty handed, and never seen this on any car before. I really didnt feel that the polished tips would go with the scheme I have. So I figured I'd paint them. I ended up using some high temp semi gloss black. They match the bumper perfect. So here are the pics, the last one is of a local car show. I'll post some more pics of the car show tonight. BTW, the Z is my friend's, blue is mine, white is my girlfriends, and the red mustang is my other friends. But let me know what you guys think, opinions, anything. Enjoy!

It doesn't look good, better polished, anyways the paint won't last very long even high temp.

lol... I guess. But there is nothing anywhere on the car to even compliment it. To me I see it as business man, suit and tie. Then to see that same guy have silver or gold teeth?But o well, its just temporary any ways. And the wonderfull thing about paint is, well you can paint it all over again.

the car looks great and the majority of people may not like the painted exhaust tips, but I understand the look you were going for so props for being different

I think is a nice different. I wouldn't have done it, but it's nothing to go and replace right away.

I was thinking about doing the same thing mainly becuase i don't want to replace my tips and they are rusted in the center of the two, going to have to see how yours hold up, how long the paint stays on. I think i looks good.

Are you going to paint the Corsa tips? If not, your reason for painting these doesn't make sense...

My big plans were to get some fiske wheels then get corsas. But its kinda hard saving money. But o well. Thats not gonna happen in the near future. But who knows, I'm a spontaneous shopper.

Regardless, I see what you were going for and it is not like it is hideous or anything... Car looks good
