Default Need your opinion on what i should do with my exhaust extension covers

With summer coming up its time for me to start doing slight mods to the car.

I want your opinions whether

1) i should leave the exhaust extension covers chrome
2) wrap them in carbon fiber
3) wrap them in gloss black
4) other suggestions are welcome

It was previously wrapped in carbon fiber but it started to slightly peel so i just took it off after it being on the car for about 4 years.

Thanks!

Could you post a picture if you don't mind? I would be interested in how that looks.

Thanks

Here are the only 2 I actually have, but if you want more, I can take some more later

Did you take them out and paint them or you leave them in ? If so, is there a way to take them out without removing rear bumper ?
Thanks

I did not take them off. I taped and draped everything off, it's very easy to tape and drape because of the way the cutouts sit in the bumper.

I think there is a way to drop the diffuser and these cutouts without removing the rear bumper but I've read it's easier if you do remove the bumper.
