I figure that'll be cheaper than trading for competition package.

You can't plasti dip exhaust parts..... But yes you can get black tips for your stock exhaust If you can't afford a new exhaust.

Buying a new car sounds like your best option...

Yeah I don't think plastic and heat goes well together. I've never used it before though lol.

other forums have reported good results. the stuff is pretty heat tolerant.

it's pretty durable but I am not quite sure about using them on exhaust tips. Previously, I had used them to 911 emblem black and it seemed to last forever, however, there wasn't too much heat comparing to exhaust tips. I'd take them off and have a shop paint them in the finish you like.

i like DIY for stuff like this. feels more satisfying than just forking out a couple hundred bucks.

I agree completely...it's not about the money, it's about the satisfaction of doing it yourself!

The DIY is taking the stock tip off and putting the professionally painted one on. Yourself! So satisfying.

product is rated up to 200 degrees F. so it should be OK.

I've heard from my SA that barbecue paint works wonders. They sell it at Lowes and Home Depot, in a can that you can respray your barbecue with that can withstand high temperatures. I couldn't tell you the name of it, although I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find!

I would suggest getting the Cyba black chrome tips. Much better than either painted or plastidip.
