The ORIGINAL has been Imitated, but not Duplicated! I pulled off my Corsa Premium tips to polish them up for a show a little while back.
My budy here has the knock-off tips....and they are not nearly as large, nice or deep as the real Corsa's. I'm not knocking the knock-off's....because Corsa doesn't sell the tips without a system and they're pretty expensive. At least someone is making some nice tips.
But....they just don't compare to the real ones. I'm going to have to send them to Joshua to get them completely polished like chrome and take out some of the scratches I have in them.
I put the Corsa system on my car in 2003. It was the first mod I did to my car and was the only one for a long time.

comparing those tips to the knock offs isn't quite fair. those are the premiums, and the knockoffs are modeled after the pro series 3.5's... pictured here
i'm NOT bashing on you, just sticking up for the clones a little. i've got corsa premiums on my ss too and there is absolutely no better tip out there in my opinion... but they shouldn't be compared to the clones.

did someone say Corsa tips? 
the knock-offs are nice, but they do look like mini-Corsa tips in the end.
i have the pro-series on mine, and it's one of my favorite things on my car
i saw that they recently went up to $350... at least too many other people won't have them

As mentioned the clones are modeled after the Pro Series not the Premium ones....
Don't get me wrong, I love real Corsas a bit more than the clones, but with a $250 difference in price it makes the decision overwhelming in favor of the clones....

My dad started working on a Frame-off resto about 15 years ago. Of course, divorce set the $$$$ and project waaaaay back (for me to....supporting him and his lawyer bills was fun)
. All that's left is to finish the wiring and interior. It's an 89 Iroc 305 TPI with the drivetrain and suspension. Doesn't sound like much, but remember that stuff was only a couple of years old when the project was started and for that light a truck it's plenty (also have to worry about twisting the frame). It's not meant to go 160mph....just to cruise down the road from 30-70mph and *look good doing it* hahahaha........I plan to finish the truck by this spring so my grandpa can enjoy it while he still can.........
