So I use a dremel to remove all the rust and corrosion from the tips.

Not bad, I've been thinking about getting mine painted matte black, tired of clean the chrome surface on the original...

Then I used the dremel to rough up the surface, then primed (make sure all coats are very light), then use high performance enamel spray paint (couple coats).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The hole process was worth it after blowing money on tip that didn't work for me.

I spoke with them today and ask about the tips being black.
He stated that they don't come in black andthat there must of been a screw up in manufacturing
The Tips are from Schnell dual exhaust tips for 1998-2001 996's
He was going to ship me out the correct ones and have UPS pick up the black ones
I think you should go with Chrome since chrome would bring the Carrera4 emblem, clear wing light, etc.. together. Have the bumperettes painted instead.
Now for my C2, I think it would look great with my Carrera emblem and Black paint color.
I would say the tips don't weigh anymore than the stock tips.
I did go back to the stock tips and painted them black. I really do like the look of the black tips.IMO Not a fan of chrome wheels and same goes for tips. Just not a big fan of chrome.
I removed the Schnell tips as there was not a good seal and when I let off the gas I got an exhaust note that sounded like a 4 banging rice burner. Lost $300 on that deal.
If you what the duel tips I will give them to you for free, just pay for the shipping, but there is one catch...
You will have to become a paying member of rennlist.
Let me know
What kind of prep and type of paint did you use on the tips? I am thinkng black tips would look good on my TT or at least better then the sort of golden hued chrome I have on there now!
My old ones were in bad shape. So I use a dremel to remove all the rust and corrosion from the tips. Then I used the dremel to rough up the surface, then primed (make sure all coats are very light), then use high performance enamel spray paint (couple coats).
It has held up very well. The paint has not chipped or flaked. The hole process was worth it after blowing money on tip that didn't work for me.
Tell you what if auto-xr does not take me up on my offer I will give them to you for free + shipping being that you are a paying member.
I don't want to take one's money for tips that might have a defect.
If anyone is interested in a good DIY coating for their tips,
http://www.brownells.com
has a product called GunKote that is tough as nails once it is applied and baked on.
I've used it many times.

evansaero, I'll take you up on the offer for the tips. I just paid for membership, but I don't think I have a member number yet. I think I should have one emailed to me within I day. Can you PM me with the shipping cost?
As long as they're making all the right sounds either colour will look...and sound great! Although, black tips with black wheels and a dark tint would look pretty menacing!
