Looking to put tips on my TORCH RED GT Convertible. How about some opinions? Anybody with a photo of BLACK CHROME TIPS on their Mustang?

I voted HPC....Chrome sets off a car nicely if put in the right place.
Exhaust tips=right place

Voted HPC.

Black chrome sounds interesting, but (without seeing it yet) may appear to look just like a dirty chrome exhaust.

Chrome looks great. If you are putting a new tip on it try to get one that sits back far enough. Several tips on the market are not very long so from the side view of the car you can see where it was clamped on

I'm not a fan of the stock exhaust tip only because it looks too small compared to the notch in the rear cover.

Go with the flow on this one. Chrome is the only way to go.

I voted other, I really like the stainless look of the magnaflow dual walls, although I'm still stock on mine.

Your pic doesn't show up when you click to enlarge it. Looking at the thumbnail, it looks like it may be a CMYK image instead of RGB (taillamps looking pinkish/purplish).

I like the look of the Flowmaster Axle Backs... Chrome tip/black muffler and plumbing....Highly polished stainless steele looks great in my book too.... FLAME GUARD ON... IMHO the "bolt on" chrome tips look ghetto... The problem is that no matter what you do you can't hide the clamp.. and it is a big honkin clamp... it looks like an upgraded version of something you'd find in my father's old JC Whitney catlog.. FLAME OFF.....

I don't know about "ghetto" (less offensive terms could apply), but I do agree with you about the clamp.

The Flowmaster Axle Backs do look nice - I wasn't willing to spend 4x as much though. I'll replace the entire exhaust at some point (way) down the road.

I voted polished chrome, not sure what my SLP's are. Stainless I assume but are polished like chrome and look very nice. Best thing is they are like a foot or so long so they have that great look all the way under the car. You can also adjust them to poke out as far as you want or to tuck them in neatly.

The clamp on tips, with no disrespect, look like clamped on tips.

Would like to see a picture showing your complete axle back from a few angles.
