opinions please...

what do you guys think?

i'm contemplating having my stainless works exhaust powder coated in either black or gunmetal... something close to the rims.

the chrome kinda just sticks out too much seeing as there is none on the car. almost seems outta place.

 

[Lethalchem]

I'd probably darken it up if it was going to stick out that far.

 

[Devious_Snake]

Plasti-dip em first, see how you like em then make a decision.

 

[jream]

that's a good idea!

 

[NightRide]

Looks good to me as is.

 

[Great Asp]

Black.

The chrome doesn't look as good IMO

What Wesley Snipes said

 

[zporta]

Match the wheels

Gonna have to go with darken em up. Do look outta place. I prefer subtle , but in your face when called on. Darker will blend better with the car,,,,,but that's just me.

 

[!!!PainTrain!!!]

I voted black but wouldn't go all black. Pipes finished in midnight/black chrome would look the best IMO while still tying in the color of the wheels.

 

[Myfast70]

What about Black Chrome like they do on wheels?

 

[bullsvt9313]

gotta be black

Chrome exhaust tips are soooo traditional, but I think black would look great!

My all white, stripe-delete has all black trim except the chrome exhaust tips. Please post a pic if you tint yours black. I may want to try it, too.

I would tape them up, spray the tape for effect. The tape will be easily removed and ready to try another color or shade. They have some hammered black and charcoal colors out that look good.

Black

 

[Marc]

Black even though mine our chrome.

I think plastidipping them is a pretty good idea. Hell, if it don't look good, remove it.

can you not adjust them more? see if loosening the connection at the h-pipe will let you scoot them up some..

no you can't adjust them in any more. they have the same design issue that pretty much all the aftermarket exhausts have... except the corsas. the angle cut of the tips to follow the rear quarter panel is pretty sharp. all of the systems i've seen don't have the angle cut on the tips, they are straight. they pull the outside tip more in toward the center of the car, but the staggered offset won't come close to having an angled cut. so therefore on all the systems i've seen, the outter tip is always sticking out farther than what looks good to have the exhaust clearing the bumper.

ok. but have you actually gone under the car and tried to adjust? also you may want to spray some wd-40 on the hangers to help loosen them up.

Only one choice IMO ,black
