Black or Polished Exhaust Tips on Black ZL1

I'm looking to get a Corsa NPP exhaust and wanted to see what people think of black vs polished tips

I really like the stock tips but I'm not sure how the black diamond tips look in real life.

They seem to blend in to the diffuser in pictures, especially on a black car - what do you think? Black or polished?

I had Corsa with Black Tips on my ZL1 and Z06 for 3+ years. No damage, fading, etc. Much easier to maintain than the super bright tips too. Also, they're not some cheap "wrinkle black" color. They're like a black chrome and they actually rainbow somewhat on the inner bevel of the tips (like Titanium). Super cool looking.

Black without question because anything else is going to turn black anyway after you drive the car 20-30 miles. I think these cars are the closest thing to a coal roller that's not a diesel.

So are AWE and they actually have the best looking tips available in my opinion, also 4.5" vs 4" for everyone else.

Polished. Just like black wheels, black tips get lost, esp. any detail. Even worse in pictures.

Kinda agree, but the Borla CF ones do look neat.

Corsa by default does not have drone so you really dont need the overpriced NPP imo. Longtubes, green cats and Corsa on my buddies is very tame, stock like cruising. Zero drone.
