    I worked very hard on these tips, they were black when I started. I hit them with 150 grit sandpaper by hand few days ago, then today I hit them with 1,000 dry grit, then 1,000 wet sand. I got a semi-mirror finish. I was going to add Medal and chrome polisher, but I misplaced it and cannot find it at the moment. Altogether it was about 2-2½hrs of labor. This will do until I get dual pipe tips. Enjoy

    Yup, "MODS" on these cars are really easy once you do them. Now mask off those facias and paint them....JKJK good work.

    When i first got my daytona, the tips were ground flat on the bottoms, so my son found 2 polished ones from one of the guys on the forum, and they were super nice. I for some reason like the stock look.....
