Well, I painted my exhaust with gas grill paint....eliminated all the bling. Did the painted corvette lettering that I saw in a previous post. Gear shift **** is the classic white cue ball. S&W 9mm shield goes with me everywhere!

Gorilla makes some nice black ones.
Have them on mine. Had locks but someone a the Dealership wanted them more than he thought I did. Changed my shocks and rotors a few weeks ago and could not find my key. Did not need it cause my locks were all replaced with reg lugs. At least they are black.

Did you scuff up the polished stainless tips before painting them, or just go for it?? I was thinking about trying plastidip on the exhaust tips. Believe it or not, they say it holds up quite well even with the exhaust tip heat... hmmmm... I may try it.
