That's exactly what I plan to when I upgrade my exhaust. The only difference is, instead of sandblasting, I planned to just scuff up the muffler with a die grinder with a scotchbrite pad attached.

Yup, the chrome of the cans really bothered me!

For me sandblasting was an easy choice, my guy already had the parts in his hand when we decided to not chance the ceramic coating. Plus, for $25 how could I go wrong...

Death to the ugly blinging chrome!
I hate chrome on the S2000, I just think it is all wrong, maybe ok for a poor Berlina, but on a weaker Spa, chrome does not belong! The one exception to this rule of course are the twin exhaust tips,
poor berlina... For the record the is no bling on mine just the exhaust tips thats it! And my cans are black also....cmon bring that big yella banana by so i can laugh at a lemon

Oh, and Eric, notice I also painted INSIDE the muffler tips so only the oval shape is highlighted. It's all about the details.

Doug, you are outnumbered by the superior berlinas in this forum. I think it is just you and Bruce who are unfortunate enough to own such sorry colors.
