CO RX8 tail pipe slip-ons
Anyone know where I can get a decent set of chrome tail pipe slip-ons for an '07 RX8? I saw a set on this site somewhere that looks really nice. Not the cheapy looking ones. I thought they were Mazdaspeed but couldn't find them on their site. Mine are beyond shiny anymore. Thanks

You tried the whole DIY there? Even using steel/copper wool to scrub at it?

No major manufacturer makes just tips except the rotary shaped one. Go to an exhaust shop.

Try some of this on your stock exhaust tips. Takes the carbon off fairly well and shines the chrome nicely. I got it at target so it’s fairly easy to find.

To OP: use steel wool. In 5 min they should be a fair bit shinier. For reference, they should look like this when new:

I was thinking steel wool might be to abrasive and scratch it all up, did it scratch yours at all? Wouldn't it be better to use copper wool so you can scrub a bit harder and not worry?

Wow Fencig. I haven't seen nevr-dul since my early years in the Air Force. Forgot all about it. Didn't know you could get it at Target. That was good stuff back then.

Azzuro...Now that's what I'm lookin for
