Bronze exhaust tip idea: Could work or just awful?

Lately I've been thinking about which direction I want to take my 04 IP coupe, exterior wise that is. For the longest time I've planned on getting gunmetal (or color of that kind) wheels like Work VS XXs or Volk GTSs. But when I think about it, this kind of white, black, and silver color scheme has been played out a lot. Don't get me wrong, it never fails to look great, but I want to do something different. So I thought, what hasn't been done that much? And the bronze look quickly came to mind. If I were to get Work VS XXs with black faces and bronze lips, bronze colored BBKs, and find other ways to incorporate bronze into my ride in a clean way, could bronze plated (or pc'd) exhaust tips be pulled off? I know that bronze lips have been done before, but I'd like to take the bronze look to the next level. From my work on photoshop I can't tell whether I like it or not. It doesn't help that the tips are in a shadow. But let me know what you think!

yeah bronze should be left to rims on white cars only (maybe blue or black cars too)...

but anything else bronze I think looks a little weird. stay away from those bronze tips.

I think a chrome tip would look nicer, myself. If you like it OP though, try it out maybe!

I'd really love to do something different and unique, but I different isn't always good. I'm just going to have to spend a lot of time on photoshop I guess messing with a lot of different pictures to see if I like it!

kinda reminds me of the gold ringed amuse exhaust, granted theirs is titanium but i don't know...i've seen cars with gold badging and exhaust tips from the dealership before but i'm not crazy about shiny gold plating, something like a matte bronze might work

Not a huge fan of the bronze look normally, but i have to say the tips look like a good way to tie it all in. usually the bronze rims look like you just slaped them on

I like the bronze and I was thinking of doing the same thing to my sedan but just to the tips
