What do you think of the gloss carbon fiber Akrapovic tips? I noticed the original matte clear coat on the Akra carbon fiber tips installed on my C6 Z was getting damaged and peeling off making it look ugly, so I decided to re-do the clear coat but in gloss rather than matte.
I thought to have the Akrapovic logo in gold, but I decided to keep it in red since it is the original color.
Here are some pics.. What is your opinion?

The gloss looks good..How old are you Akrapovic tips? Are they fading or peeling

I had them for around four years. here's a pic showing the clear coat peeled off. I have removed and reinstalled the exhaust on the car several times, so I guess they have peeled off due to improper handling during removal and installation.

Wow...so much better in gloss. I'd love to do this to mine. What kind of clear did you use?

Yours turned out nice, I'm not messing with mine, they cost as much as the whole system

Clear will chip way quicker then real carbon good luck they look great if it was a trailer show car just my opion.

I didn't ask the shop who did it which clear they used.

I will post some pics when I install them on the car.

The carbon fiber aero you buy for our cars are clear coated.

I like the gloss look as well. Especially when being compared to chipped or worn originals.

I also have a C7 race rear diffuser, so the gloss tips would better match the cleared diffuser as well.

They look great in gloss !!! Might have to do that to the ones I just bought as well

Nicely done! I have never been a super big fan of the dry carbon look.

Gloss all the way IMO. Looks great, keep the logo in RED.

I just finished doing mine too 👍 My carbon diffuser arrives tomorrow so I just slid them on for a pic.

Jealous. Now I want to do mine in clear. Look great

FNBADAZ06, yours look really nice. The matching carbon fiber diffuser will look awesome with those tips.

FNBADAZ06

THanks !!! Seeing how nice yours turned out kinda made it a no-brainer for me

I got the new carbon diffuser installed last night with the tips but it was too late to take any pics, so I drove the car to the office to snap a few
