MODE Black Ceramic Coated Exhaust Tips

Just got them today. $368 shipped. Hopefully they're really ceramic coated.

Either way, they look great. I got the ceramic because I figured anything shiny is going to become oxidized and discolored anyway. Hopefully they're more durable than anything shiny. And at least the matte black will hide as much as possible.

Keep you guys posted on the cosmetics with some future pictures of everything I end up doing and my experience with the tips as I drive with them.

They look nice and would consider them as well. How much were they? I'd also like to change my stock chrome tips rather than buying an entire exhaust system at the moment.

$368 shipped. Took a few weeks from Australia, not too bad.

They're gigantic, hopefully just appropriate enough for the stock exhaust growl and not too obnoxious.

Seem to be good quality. I got the black ceramic because of issues other people have had with the shiny version of these, and just how I've seen most exhaust tips get discolored in general.

Fingers crossed they'll work well!

Some guys here did this install. Apparently the paint doesn't stay on too long. I'd powder them before installing.

I saw that too. These say that they're ceramic coated, so we'll see...

I actually bought these because MODE had written back to another member about buying these instead when their chrome/black chrome tips corroded or something like that.

I had my E-race ceramic coated for heat, but it's a bit to much in my opinion. The important part is do whatever makes you happy.

Will definitely be curious to see if the finish holds up better than the gloss black ones I bought and ceramic coated myself. These will look great on on your blue.
