ToofDoc Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Anyone know if I can buy and switch out the chrome exhaust tips to a ceramic (matte black) exhaust tips on a LP560-4 like the ones on Performante and Superleggera? Just the tips, not the entire exhaust system. Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the tips, not the entire exhaust system. Anyone? The tips are not part of the exhaust system. They are bolted to the bumper. If you remove the wheel well liner, you can access the bolts and remove them; send them off to get coated, or swap them out for whatever tips you want.

That's what other are recommending....to "ceramic" coat them. Not handy or comfortable to take things apart (unless it's a tooth), so I may take the car to a shop to do this...

Ag02M5 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Some SL exhaust tips for sale on the other forum. Might need to purchase the lower SL grills to make them work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo50Mike Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Some SL exhaust tips for sale on the other forum. Might need to purchase the lower SL grills to make them work. I believe he has a 560...There are no grill surround on the tips. Also, don't know if Heffner has the 560 tips yet, but it's worth a call, I guess.

You can get the factory SL tips from that 'online Lambo parts place', but they are ~$1400 each side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorinc Report post Posted July 1, 2012 ok so here is my $10 solution did it 3 months ago or so ... i just taped up around my tips and sprayed them with krylon hi-temp grill paint ... also removed the logo scuffed it with a 3m pad and sprayed it also ... the grill paint has a really high adhesion so tons of car washes no problemo t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboGator Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Unless you have the SL diffuser, putting SL-length tips on a regular 560 is gonna look like shit. Just get the tips ceramic-coated. Memo recently had his 560 tips ceramic-coated...maybe he'll chime in on this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
