I agree 100%, they all look good to me. I think that certain color blue makes all pipes look good |

Paint one side white and the other side black. You'll have the best of both worlds and you'll never see both of them at the same time.

My headers and side pipes are silver. They are ceramic coated to prevent discoloration. I highly recommend the ceramic coating.

The white pipes look best with the white stripes.

I was originally planning on painting my cobra guardsman blue with white stripes, just like your car. In my mind, if I did the roll bar black, the pipes would be black. If the roll bar was chrome, the pipes would be white. I love the look of white side pipes. In the end, it didn't matter as I painted the car red with no stripes. Black roll bar and pipes...

I find it interesting that Guardsman Blue can look so very different in pictures depending on the type of lighting when the pic was taken.

Mine are ceramic silver, like the black but just keep driving her instead of taking her down to work on coloring the pipes.
