black Corsa exhaust tips - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aurora40 · 04-18-2009

I don't really like the blingy Corsa tips, especially with the '90 body style. Shiny stuff seems out of place to me with the flat black beltline and whatnot.

So I painted my tips a flat gunmetal color. It's really that temporary bra stuff, so it will wash off with water. But I wanted to see how it looked. Here's how it turned out:

So far, I have to say I like it a lot. If I did it for real, I'd paint the face of the muffler cans. I did paint the bottom part of the face, but couldn't easily do the whole thing with the mufflers in place.

I'd rather not do the whole can and the pipes. The pipes should dull up a bit over time. The factory pipes were just raw finished also, though not nearly as shiny.

Thoughts?
