Default Anyone Wnat to Trade Exhaust Tips?

I have a TTS with black exhaust tips.
Since my TTS is Black, I am hoping to switch them to chrome so they will contrast better with my Black paint.
Anyone interested in doing some kind of trade?
Mine have about 10K miles but are in Excellent condition.
Looking for the same condition chrome ones.

Cool idea. I have same issue - and I think chrome would look better on my black car. Let us know if this works out please.

I'd be interested in a swap. Have a white turbo with the chrome tips. I think the black tips would look good on a white car.

Haven't looked yet. They easy to remove?

Leave em black. My chrome tips needed cleaning all the time from the exhaust crud to where the bottom edges were pitted. Painted them black and never looked back.

The tips are just bolted on...easy to take off, but need some adjustment to get the angle and projection off the bumper the correct distance. Measure the original fit or take a picture from above.

Leave the tips as they are! Black tips look by far better.

Send your tips out for ceramic powder coating. Several colors are available. Look into CCP Coatings in Detroit.
