Dude, just don't wash your car for a while and they'll turn black. We call that the Panda mod.

Cheers!

Mmm I would love black exhaust tips myself. My A3 is white so my ultimate goal is to have all black trim...

High-temperature paint like that that would be used on a barbecue grill, a commercial oven, or similar application could probably do the trick at very low cost.

You'll be looking at about $60.00 for each exhaust tip plus paint costs. Prepare by lightly sanding with emery, prime, and spray using high-temperature paint. Figure on $150.00 for this upgrade including shipping costs and taxes.
