How to turn m performance exhasut tips black?

I really like the look of those black chrome exhaust tips.

How can I turn the M performance exhasut tips black?

Would prefer black chrome but a matte finish would also work.

Black chrome is very popular and there a number of places that will chrome the exhaust tips if you would like.

I would stay away from the do it yourself options as they probably cannot withstand exhaust heat.

my p3 cars boost gauge has a bunch of diagnostic numbers it shows, and yesterday in traffic and light cruise after traffic cleared, the EGT ( exhaust gas temp. ) showed 1396 degrees F. The tips must get VERY hot!

Yes, a couple hundred degrees.

Cars with side pipes like Vipers can cause minor burns lol.
