Default Burnt Chrome Exhaust Tips?

Has anyone ever tried the more "JDM" style blue burnt chrome tips on a Camaro? Bought a new catback without tips and trying to decide what I want. I think the burnt tips could look cool because my car is white. Pictures/Opinions appreciated.

I am going to go out on a limb and say you probably won't get much of a response or pics on this as I have never seen anyone do it and be prepared to be flamed for asking lol

that said, I think it could look decent depending on the style of tip you use and the fact your car is white, but most of the burnt tips I have seen on JDM cars are fart cans and I absolutely despise fart cans....

I figured id be walking into a minefield by suggesting this. Im thinking corsa clones. Not wanting the 5inch fartcan. Id hate myself if I did that to my car. Part of my reason for wanting to try it was I hadnt seen it done, guess I may just bite the bullet and try it myself.

Believe it's standard for titanium tips and can be done on stainless tips. Don't think you can do it with chrome tips.

Seen a few corvettes with the burnt tips, but no f-bodies that I can recall. Don't think it'd look bad though. As with any other mod it just has to be done right and fit the overall look of the car..

Titanium is what I meant, I couldn't remember what it was called. I think I'm just gonna go for it once I get my catback on, can't find the passenger rear metal bracket thing to bolt it on.
