Mine are still perfect with no prep work/sanding done to the tips prior to installation. But only one month old at the moment.
Cheap and very easy to do. |

My driver's side tip has one small chip/flake on it. Easy fix, that works quite well for hiding it...a Sharpie!

Very easy to do though, just take plenty of time when you newspaper the body up! I went over the top with mine, but it was my 1st effort and wasn't sure how precise I was going to be! http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...1&d=1462550584 |

I just did my 3rd coat and its drying to more of a satin than a gloss. Did you apply a clear gloss coat over it? |

It won't be wet gloss. But glossier than satin I would say.

Somewhat on/off topic -- I am considering powder coating my 469m wheels black (can't decide more matte or glossy) and if I do, I will be painting/powder coating the ACS exhaust tips I got from Ben. My dealer has a guy who works with the local dealers by me to powder coat wheels and the turn around time is only 2 days @ $125 a wheel, so I'll probably have them do the exhaust tips at the same time.

^^ If you're getting the wheels done, I would have them do the tips at the same time. Gloss outer / matte inner looks best to match OEM.

^^^ Good product. I used the VHT high heat matte for the inner portion of the tip.

I have a sport exhaust I am getting ready to install on my 35i m sport. Has anyone cut off original tips and welded them on new exhaust?
Any issues or tips on what not to do. |

What's the best process for re-doing the tips? Mine have completely chipped away and look horrible! Standard paint thinner to remove everything down to bare chrome again?
