I think it will blend in too much with the black exterior of the car. I said nay, but I guess if you were to paint/powder coat them flat black it may look nice.
I just like the contrast that the tips provide with the rear.

Thats what I like too but....
Exactly. There's carbon built up on the lower part of the tips that doesn't come off with polish. Furthermore, since I've put on my headers, the color of the tips actually changed a little bit too!
I saw a completely murdered out CLS55 when I visited HK last year (along with a flat black g55!) and its flat black tips looked pretty nice.

I like and voted for stock, since I like the contrast it gives. Shiny tips just look good.
Then again, if you went flat black, I'd still give you kudos.

i voted black but hopefully it doesn't look off since you still have all the stock chrome accents on the car ex: chrome trim, chrome MB sign on grill and chrome V8 badge on sides..

I bought some nice chrome polish compound back in Vancouver and it worked really well. If you want to try it out I can bring it to Seattle this weekend.
BTW I vote for chrome

I'm kind of torn now. Has anyone considered putting CLK55 quad tips on or C63 tips? The c55 exhaust tips are kind of small compared those two. Yes, I have exhaust tip size envy :

Are you sure it would be effective on an older car with long term buildup?
I assumed yours would be easy to get off seeing as its a brand new car (shrugs). I would be interested in trying though.
