Default find me damn burnt tips

Does anyone know if anyone makes burnt tips like joez? I looked and found some from Japan but I'm not paying 1000 dollars for them.

I know what you mean. The Lems Japan ones are quite high, but they do look well done. Burning your own tips might be another alternative. The Joe Z tips is a nice look if you're looking to change things up. But the burnt blue titanium does look nice!

Not enough surface area imo, they would turn out completely blue.

If you remove the tips off the car and get the very tip of the rolled edge bright red hot the circle the whole muffler tip super slow while keeping it red and only do it once it may actually come out right. If you saw my iss forged tips I did, I had to actually do it on the sides of the tip starting from the rolled edge because there is double the surface area compared to the oem easily. So only doing the edge you may be safe.

why don't you do a black chrome look. I know someone at the auto store was selling the paint to do it with. I personally am not a fan of the blue tips unless your car is blue pearl.

Lucky for F owners The car has blue accents in every color option. Gauges, stitching, emblems.....I'm guessing that's why the Greddy has it and now the ISS forged.
