Default Tailpipe tips
I don’t need an exhaust. Just a nice looking black tip. For my 2017 Grand Sport. Anyone?

You can spray the ones on the car black. There are several I've seen on the forum that way. You can probably find it in a search.

That's what ultra hi-temp paint is for. Just take the time to prep them correctly first.

I was hoping for a little more character than just painting. Something like the corsa maybe. But I probably paint if I have to

Corsa makes them... They look great, but expensive. Alrapovic too, but I’ve never seen just the tips for sale, and their system is costly. Painting is certainly an option.

Akrapovic has cf tips and sound unlike anything else. I love mine but they aren't cheap.

Yeah, I bought a Corsa Sport system a year ago; I really wanted the black tips (Torch red Z51 Conv, black wheels/calipers, black Z06 grill) but they were spendy….wish I had done them now but no big deal

I love this look... it matches all the angled lines on the car much better then four round circles.

I can't rationalize the price of an entire exhaust system just have black tips.

So, last weekend I painted mine.
