PSE tips matte black
Finally did it. Should have done it a long time ago. Looks 1000 times better. I can see why Porsche's sportier models i.e. 991 GTS, GT3, and turbo S all get black tips. Little things that transform the appearance of the car.

How did you do yours? Is it a deep black, or more of a charcoal? I had Darin at Fister do mine in "black." Love them, but they're definitely a dark gray. I agree, the small change makes a huge difference. I also painted my "Carrera S" script a deep metallic gunmetal, almost black. ;-)

I don't have PSE, but I do have matte black tips.
As someone said in another thread, I have a "rattle can" matte black because I used hi temp paint that cost $8 instead of paying $600 for the professional tips. Have had them on the car for about 4 months and they still look freshly painted.
But to each their own.....personally I like the money I saved as I bought other stuff.

I used Rustoleum Hi Temp (2000F) engine paint, three coats spaced apart by about 30 mintues.
