yeah man...i would have gotten yours if they came out about a year sooner but since i have the aluminum ones i figured this was the next best option at a really affordable price

damn, i got the aftermarket cme tips, wish it would work on them

So basically is this stainless steal thing just a plate that goes on the lips of the tips? If so, how do you put it on? Is it welded or something? I'm probably going to get these. Thanks for the pics though man...

My stainless steel tips come with or without a lip welded in and if you already have tips without the lip I could ask my guy if he would sell you just the lip to have welded on... Otherwise if you trace it out (or just get the measurements off of my website) emblempros can make the same thing for you, I'm just not sure there would be enough surface for it to stick to...

I have the OEM SLP CME tips. How is it possible these tips are attached with 3M double sided tape? The tips get pretty hot so I would think it wouldn't be possible.

Are the regular CME tips THAT hard to keep clean? I just spray a little brake cleaner into a rag and wipe the surface before I wash the rest of my car.

Does spraying brake cleaner work that good? I've been using never dull and it seems to work well.

I still have the file for these tips if anyone else wants a set, but if you have a different tip, all I need are the dimensions to make you a pair.
Thanks,

Hey Nick, you think you can post a side shot of the tips? Does it look as one with the tips? If I get these I don't want it to be noticeable that its an attached piece. dragonZ28 what does this go for? You can PM me if you'd like.

(not just because i came up with the idea

but because they really look nice, a lot better in person than in the crappy cell phone pictures)

It works excellent. The thing is neverdull polishes the aluminum - but if you have polished it before then you dont need to do it again...it just needs the exhaust buildup to be cleaned away. Brake cleaner sprayed into a rag then wiping the rag on the tips cleans them in about 30 secs.
