Keep stock chrome exhaust tips? Black to match? Carbon?

akkando · 01-20-2018, 08:55 PM

UPDATE

I bought the f80 black chrome angled comp pack exhaust tips and installed them. Photos at bottom.

Can a mod close the poll or someone tell me how to do it?

UPDATED PICS OF NEW TIPS

OLD ORIGINAL POST BELOW
----------------------------

Having trouble figuring out what I want to do for exhaust tips. Please help me with my first world problem. Options are:

1. Black exhaust tips to match some other dark bits, probably the M3 comp pack ones because they cheap!

2. Keep the chrome ones and leave as is.

3. Perhaps get some cheaper carbon tips, I see some cheaper ones, but the OEM ones are out of my price range.

4. Remove the black plate frame and the black M2 badge and replace with chrome to match the chrome stock tips.

Currently on the car I have the black badge, black plate frame, CF spoiler, CF diffuser, and the chrome stock tips. I am worried the black comp pack tips will just get lost in the diffuser, but maybe the current chrome clash with the plate frame and badge?

Current

With Chrome plate and badge

I am yet to come across a tip that looks better than OEM M performance tips. Looks amazing with CF diffuser! And the titanium on the inside turns blue after few thousand miles; it's dope!

I vote for Dark Black Crome Cyba Tips

Carbon exhaust tips are one of the dumbest fads out there right now. It looks ricey and retarded. Stay off the Tide pods and go with black. Simple. Classy. Doesn't shout "I eat Tide pods"

I agree with Andrewc89

People are eating tide pods?

Anyway I thought maybe the carbon would look good because they're not as bright as chrome but not so dark that they get lost in the diffuser. I don't really care that they're carbon. I could just leave the chrome dirty as fuck, then they just look gray! I suppose there might be some matte gray ones or gun metal or something.

I hear you about not wanting the tips to get lost in the diffuser, but it's also important that everything matches.
I initially voted for black because of your badge and license plate frame.
If you put the chrome license plate frame and badge back on the car the brushed silver cyba tips would be perfect.

Agreed. I like silver tips because you can see them really well, I just hate the stock one's. Theyre so small and dinky looking. The 90mm cyba tips are definitely a big upgrade. I have them and love 'em. Quality item.

Also agree - I got the black cyba tips and they're great! Although the brushed silver tips were a close second, they look amazing in that pic.

The chrome ones are only good for one thing..... getting you to take them off and buy black ones

Black chrome slash cut M3 / M4

HODLM · 01-27-2018, 08:09 AM

Excuse the dirty car (pic was taken in shop), but I went with the matte black exhaust tips from ActiveAutowerke which were not too expensive. Larger tips than oem, and they fit in well with the AW car and black / carbon accents. Sometimes I think about getting the SS tips to pop more, but I'm happy with the matte black. The chrome OEM are too dinky. Now that I look at it, I think I need a black M2 badge to finish the look.

Call me crazy, but I LOVE the oem rims in Gold. So tempted to powdercoat mine gold.

AngryBaby · 01-27-2018, 04:35 PM

Cyba FTW. Can't go wrong with any of their options.

Do you mean the carbon spoiler in OP's 1st post? If so no that is the RKP spoiler. Here is mine

I also got the black cyba tips and they look great. Cyba at the time was sold out of the carbon ones.

That does look interesting, on the example images they are really tucked in there on those cars.. I wonder if they are short?

I believe they are 115mm or 130mm and you can pick.
