I got distracted by the view! What was this thread about.......
oh yeah, Black tips.
I like it.
It looks really good. The exhaust is almost as cool as the water in your back yard. That's super sweet.

I painted my beer cans black recently but I wish I'd gotten to the mufflers & pipes like you did.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! I got the paint at a local race shop. Everything seems to be holding up so far and I love the way it looks.

Wow, cool exhaust, but I admit, I really was not looking at it when you have such a beautiful view. I hate south dakota, Im so glad the Marines are sending me to Pendelton, even if its boot, it will be better than this hell hole.

I did my tips a few weeks ago....love the results, but definitely saddened by the look of the still silver muffler...over the summer I will drop that out and paint the whole thing so its completely out of view

Oh and, I like the way the tips came out. The stealth underbody look of the black mufflers/pipes looks good too.

Thanks! It's actually the Banana River in Merritt Island. I use to wakeboard back in the day but I'm not home enough to go out anymore since I've been at school in Winter Park.

Which school in Winter Park are you going to?
I lived in Winter Park for a little over a year & I still miss the Jazz & College radio stations.

nice tips, I went with Jet coating for the same look. I didn't know you could get a good quality high heat paint in a rattle can.

That's cool. I went to Full Sail while I was there.
