The CF Tips are from Joe Z and he only made a few. I believe he was considerirng making another batch. Once he sees this thread he should be chiming in shortly.

A few of us have powdercoated gloss black, and at least one I know of has plastidipped them with no issues.

You might also look in to hydrographics to get the CF look. I didn't go that route because I thought it would be overkill on the carbon fiber and I wasn't 100% sure it would handle the heat but the hydrographics guy I talked to seemed to be confident it would hold up.

Oh nice I like how it looks I think I could get this done as well looks sharp I like the idea on the metal black paint for the tip also thought a color like the OEM rims paint the tips same color maybe would come out nice as well

Probably not a good idea to get the SRT intake, IIRC some people had problems with it. The best intake mod is just replacing the stock pipe with a Joe Z or silicone pipe, and replacing the stock filter with a Tom's or aFe filter. That way you still retain the secondary intake opening. That's speaking from a power gain perspective. If you really want a cone style air intake or don't mind a little loss in power over looks, get the Injen or K&N intake system. For the best of both worlds Takeda is the way to go, it retains the secondary intake opening and it has the cone intake filter.

Also, if you're still thinking about it, get the Joe Z exhaust. You won't regret it.

Back on topic, I have had glossified Plastidip exhaust tips for over a year now and they still look great. It's very durable and very cheap to do. Although I do agree that powder coated gloss black tips is a better look, and perhaps you can look into hydrodipping the tips with carbon fiber film if that's the look you're going for. I heard it is resistant to heat damage.
