Installed some fabspeed black chrome dual exhaust tips. They installed easily without any issue and the black chrome looks nice in my opinion. I ordered them from vivid racing and they were 225.00.

They look great...but are they black chrome? They look like polished chrome - still look great though.

They show much brighter in photos, they do look black but also have a chrome like reflection too them.

Is this the set you bought? I'm working on buying a set of quad tips & have an 03 C2.

I meant the whole quote... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As in: I like the stock tips better. But it's not my car so it doesn't matter one difference.

In the photo's I think they look like regular chrome (i.e. silver) due to the light color of the concrete driveway...

I like ^^those^^ very retro/Singer like... To get really crazy you could modify the lower valence to round cutouts/totally surrounding the pipes...
