Blacked Out Exhaust Tips
So I am thinking I'm gonna have my body shop paint my exhaust tips glass black; I am getting my tail lights and signals smoked completely black soon.

Make sure they use a hi-temp paint that would be able to withstand the heat.

The fact that I don't have mufflers, I think I should do something cool and be different.

Don't forget to complete the look by dressing in all black with black shades.

Q: why not paint it yourself? Seems like a super easy mod...wash, dry, paint, let dry.
*I still want to see your Z - maybe you can bring it to the next autoX in Oct.

Yes, gloss black tips. You can't really see anything else as far as my exhaust goes.

I've seen people run electronic dumps and it's a stupid waste of money. I'd rather spend the money on other stuff. I have enough flow as it is.

maybe dumps wasn't the right word, I meant downturn exhaust tips, so your exhaust wouldn't been seen at all, like the 7 series, I mean, you are trying to make the car look stealth correct?
