Just got my stock exhaust tips ceramic coated black!!

Hey guys!

Just wanted to show off my freshly ceramic coated exhaust tips. I had been looking all over for different tips for my Clubman's stock exhaust, but finally decided to try something unique. I just picked them up today and they look AMAZING! Here's 2 teaser pics (please excuse the poor lighting) - hopefully I will have time to install them tomorrow and take some more pics. ENJOY!

(for anyone wondering I had them done by a company called Custom Concepts located in Detroit - here's their website: ccpcoatings.com)

Thanks! I was quoted $25-$30 for each tip.

nice, and relatively affordable! i might have to cop your style, if the cooper S tips are easily removable. i've been passively looking for a jcw exhaust to put on my car, but finding one and getting one shipped without having it cut seems to be a tall task. i'm also getting some flat black rota rb wheels installed on my car tomorrow, so the black exhaust tips might be a nice complement.

I really would like to swap out my exhaust system as well, but it's just not in the budget right now. I figured at least I can make it look cool

Lay on your back and look at the bottom of the tips - there is one bolt in the middle of each one (assuming it's the same as my Clubman was). You'll just need to unscrew and remove each one using a small allen wrench. After I took them out, the tips didn't budge because of all the carbon build up. I had to spray a bunch of WD-40 in and around them and let it soak. I was able to get one off but had to have a friend with smaller hands get the other one off for me.
