black chrome exhaust tips
Soooo, I'm trying to finish off the rear of my car.... I think I need some black chrome exhaust tips but I haven't found ones I like yet... anyone have a source for these?
Worst case I'm thinking of getting some S2000 tips and having them black chrome plated.
And before anyone responds, I am not interested in aftermarket exhaust. I want my car to stay quiet as is... this is purely for cosmetic reasons.

if you want a cheaper alternative...
try Duplicolor Smoke Metalcast and paint them yourself.
(not sure how that will hold up to the heat, tho)
edit:
they advertise it as paint for exhaust tips
so i guess it would be ok

Perhaps it's not clear in the pic, but the emblems are black chrome... so is the license plate frame... and so are my rims (but obviously you can't see that in these pics).
I think I found a set... they might just be too long. I wonder how much it is to have them welded on... anyone know?

Hmm, seems it would chip easily though.... I tried that paint with my badges (prior to buying the black chrome ones from Sewell) and the paint chipped after a few months just from washing the car....

The one I originally wanted is 8" long, which is about 1" longer than what I need for the Ings rear.
The Ractive one looks good, I had been thinking about that however the only place I found that advertised it now has it discontinued.

Just don't clean your stock tips for a few months. Seems to be what everyone else is doing these days anyway.

wow, that exhaust look really good, where can I buy them? and what price is listed on them?
also, does it fit on the IS350 with ING's kit?
and our inlet is 2.5" isn't it? and this ractive one is only 2" on the inlet. i duno if t going to fit or not.
