Default Black exhaust tips

Theres not many around and I think they look badass(first saw on a white Lambo).

But now, should I go with satin black, or flat black(VHT paint). I feel like the satin black would be more visible and clean looking than matte black. Matte is more badass, but it could look 'dirty' too.

Tips are Hooker dual round tips in chrome. I like em so far. My car has plasti dip RPM 505 18'' wheels.

I might do the Berger mod next year, along with hockey stripes.

What you think?

IMHO a satin finish would look best with the black plastidip on the wheels. Whatever you choose, you can never go wrong with black and white. You could throw that **** on a 92 ford windstar and I would rock it 8 days a week!

I painted my whole hooker cat back with bbq paint a couple years ago. I love the way it looks but don't have any decent pics. Has held up great.

I had a can of VHT caliper gloss black laying around. I really like the results. In the pics, its a bit hard to see, but in person, its more visible. I cant wait to see it in day light!! Tomorrow I'll try better pic, but its weather forecast clouds and rain all day

first thing to do is tear off that gay transformers sticker. no one will care about your color scheme if they are too busy laughing that your car might transform into camarotron at any minute!

On a side note white car, gloss black berger, gloss black hockey or sunoco stripe, gloss black wheels with chrome or polished lip, whistler headlights, black turn signals, and an slp bowtie grill is about the best looking thing ever.

Hahha^^ I know its the kind of comments I can get on this forum for having a sticker like that! I got it when the movie was out...now its kinda outdated and it will be removed next season. The only reason why I havent removed it already is that EVERYBODY is giving me props about it...FYI

Hockey stripes and berger panel and maybe manta stripes are up next season!

Black tips look cool but I've always been a fan of polished myself.

I think if you did a black berger and polished tips it would look nice. Black sorta looks like they're just caked in carbon and never cleaned...

From the angle you took the picture they look painted, but from the standard behind view that tips are seen at I think they won't really look like anything...

But anyway I say no paint on the tips and go with a black berger panel instead

Black Berger and black tips would look ok...the tips would look eternally dirty. I like the chrome/polished.

Lose that legends of the hidden temple sticker, looks weak.
