Digging the Black Edition. Think its bad ars

Let us know how you've managed to get the tailpipe blacked out, I intent to do the same to cancel the shinny butt of my car. Just don't know where to begin with this (powder coat, hightemp paint, tar coatings, etc...).

That'll be interesting

I'll be doing it with matt black spray and matt lacquer to be honest, I won't be using anything high temp. They're only tips so they wouldn't get that hot. I've used standard paint on calipers before and it has lasted years - unless you're putting it onto a rocker cover or actual exhaust pipes, then I'd just use normal paint

Matt black is ridiculously forgiving, you can get a stunning finish to it without even trying. Going to wait until the summer though to do it in one fell swoop.

I painted mine in barbecue paint - it dries to a mat charcoal color and handles the heat.
(they can get hot, especially after a hard drive).
The tips are custom made slip-on fitting. (when I go for smog I can remove them so the exhaust looks standard, so hopefully they don't notice it's bored out and has secondary cats removed!)
