Carbon Fiber or Ceramic Black Exhaust Tips?

Looking to upgrade my stock polished tips on my 997.2S. They really don't match anything on the car. I'm thinking black since it compliments the white well. Trying to decide between carbon fiber and having the originals ceramic coated black. Anyone running the carbon fiber?

From riding motorcycles, I know that carbon fiber will never get hot, I can't speak about ceramic as I never had any experience with this material.

This may or may not matter to you, but your bumper will be cooler where the carbon fiber exhaust tips are.

Just my 10 cents

I've got carbon on my 997.
A nice touchup on a white car is black mirriors, tinted windows, black wheels and black exhaust pipes.

FD Motorsports has the Ceramic Tips. I have them on mine. Darin has them ready to go on exchange.

If cost matter. CF isn't cheap. The ceramic tips are a bit shinny when clean. Nice touch to me.
