I think it would look cool on a red car, particularly with black-out trim.

Default I agree that the tips would stand out alot more with a polished finish....

But I wanted something different from everyone else, and I also wanted to keep up with the whole blacked out look. I've always been a big fan on the RS6 tips and these resemble them colorwise.

Agree...they are more obvious on a silver or red and will tend to dissapear on darker colors.

i think it looks sick, you've already said ur gunna black out the grill, any plans on any of the other shiny surrounds going black (body color) or flat black? Just make sure that all your blacking out matches the rest of the car, i think its goofy when you have one black emblem and one chrome emblem or just as when everything isnt one with itself.

I feared that a glossy finish would look ricey.

I was hoping you'd do more of a shiney gunmetal, but I am glad you like them.

Default I think the only other thing I'll black out is the front grille surround...

I'm still debating about the rings. I like the trim around the windows, so that will stay along with the lower trunk trim.
