Nice Tips! Thinking about a change...

I've got the fabspeed tips which look great for 1 minute after washing and then they turn black.

Thoughts on a replacement set, guys? I love the badass look of the FS but they just get too filthy.

Don't get them powdercoated black by just any shop. Have them done by Fabspeed! Otherwise you'll just end up having them burnt right off after one hard driving session. Ceramic coating would be another good option too.

I found that out the hard way when my tips which were powdercoated black by a local shop burnt right off!
