Default Why do some CME's look fat/fuller and some look skinny? (pics)

Hard to explain, but hopefully you'll see what I mean in the pics. Some Camaro's with the CME valence have a very full, round, fat look to the rear of the car that looks awesome in my opinion. Some don't have that look at all, almost like the rear bumpers are different or something.

Here's 2 pics to compare... anyone know why this is? I just bought a 6LE CME and tips and I really would hate it if it looked skinny and weird on there.

Here's some with the fat look I'm talking about, look real nice..




And here's some with the skinny look... not sure why!

Nope, the Fattie red one is a 6LE valence.

The thicker CME valence is made by 6le and is fiberglass I believe. The skinny version is made by SLP and is some kind of urethane.

The skinny no lip tips are made by some dude who venders through 6le, while the tips with the fat lip around them are the SLP tips. I believe that 6le also offers these.

I have the the 6LE tips and valance. It's a very tight factory looking fit. I went with the 3" tips with the lip. I love it.

I plan on painting the insides of the tips and the outsides black, all except the polished lip that shows so they stand out more and all the welds and everything don't show.

Lotta guys do this.

I know what I meant is the red car has the 6LE valence and it's got the thick, full look. Same with with the OEM SLP SS cars w/ the CME valence, thick and full look.


So it seems hit or miss and I can't figure out why, the tips being different doesn't effect the look of the actual rear bumper area to me, so idk what the real reason is.. the angle of the pics plays a part, but there is clearly a different look from car to car regardless of the pic angle. Some just don't look right.
