Cool Black Powder CME Pics Installed

Got the CME installed on Saturday. I'm very happy with how it all turned out.



The finished look.



Thinking outside the box. Coming up with something unique.

Great idea, it looks great. The only problem I have with those tips is they look like untreated metal normally. Looks great powdercoated. That with the black panel and the export lights looks really good together and unique. I'm really liking this combo with the silver. Nice.

Looks good. Plus, they turn black anyway, so now you can't tell when the tip is dirty or not.

Black is the way to go... I polished mine, and they
want a lot of upkeep. Otherwise they end up
"mostly black" anyway. I could see black anodizing
them. But if powdercoat holds up to it, it's a good
look. I'd expect body-colored ones to not hide the
soot too well or stay looking fresh though.
