If you're worried about the tips getting lost then go with chrome but I think the black chrome would probably stand out ok against the carbon diffuser. What color are your tips now?

I would say black. I have the Turner muffler deletes and they're big and chrome.
The carbon build up was pretty bad and I wanted to clean them ever few days.
To help cure my OCD I painted them black.
