Tips for stock exhaust with M Performance diffuser?

I just ordered black kidney grilles, side grilles, trunk spoiler, carbon mirrors and then diffuser. Basically all cosmetic upgrades from MP except the winglets. I plan on installing the MPE in the future but for now, I can't afford it. I also don't want to do aftermarket exhaust.

Where can I find carbon fiber or black, or even titanium tips for the stock exhaust. Hopefully something I can snap on the stock tips at home without any work and can easily remove in the future. It's just that I think the stock tips look out of proportion with the diffuser.

Thanks,
Appreciate 2

The stock I'm not too sure of with the diffuser, I think I would prefer something a little bigger. Otherwise, I could just powder coat/car dip my current tips.

I found these which might just do the job, a bit expensive though.

Looks nice. Can you supply details on tools/steps to remove OEM tips and replace?

Install was easy, only tools i used was good ole elbow grease and some WD40.

The stock exhaust tips are held on by a pressure clip inside the tip which presses against the piping. Left side tips basically just fall off, real easy to remove. For the right side, a bit tougher but i used some WD40 which helped to pull them off. Slide on the gloss black tips and done! Overall process took me about 15-20 minutes to complete.

Thanks guys, I sort of managed (barely) to afford skipping the tips and getting the MPE now. It would arrive with everything else in approximately one month and I would save on getting the tips now.

Thanks though to everyone. Can't wait!
