Black exhaust tips have a cracked oval exhaust tip and can't seem to find the correct replacement. Since a CETA figuring I will go black exhaust tips to go with the color scheme of the car. Anybody done this and have photos? - or leads where I might find some? I would prefer a shape that fills the Trans Am bumper - an oval or at least double rounds - no single circles. I've searched and found some promising ones - but 2.25 inlet. I need 2.5 as these will be on the end of loudmouth 1. Any help appreciated.
I'd vote for a set of the corsa clones. They're my favorite tip on T/As. I don't know about black though. If you want subtle though, I'd think maybe powdercoating them like a gunmetal color might not be bad.
A few years back a member here transamjam had his corsa clones powder coated black. Looked nice. I'm sure if you do a search for that his thread should come up.

You can go on ebay and there is a seller who has the corsa clones with 2.5 inlet and 4" tips.. By far the best look! much better than the 3.5" tip.

thanks all - the easiest (least costly) thing would be to try to track down a replacement SLP tip. I will probably try that first. The only shiny parts on the car now are the collector edition badges on the doors since the stock wheels with polished lip are tucked away - so I think the black tips would work. Nothing subtle this car. Perhaps if I can find an SLP replacement, I will have those powder coated.

LOL @SparkyJJO
I actually thought that - sort of in reverse - If I get black tips I won't have to obsess about cleaning them all the time.
Cannot find an SLP oval replacement - guess I will go with the 4" outlet Corsa clones. More than I thought it would cost me for a little cracked weld - but if I don't spend it, someone else surely will. Thanks for the link.
