Exclamation custom S/S CME tips!!!

i got these made from the guys at emblempros.com because i was tired of trying to clean the aluminum tips...IMO these look much better and will clean very easily!!

*** to clear up any confusion, these are just the lips (like a plate of mirrored s/s) stuck on the original tips using rtv silicone...they have only been on for a few days but i have driven a lot and they are holding on there super strong and the heat hasnt been an issue whatsoever! ***

So they go over the tip's themselves? Will they only work on OEM CME tips? If they would work on my aftermarket CME's, i would definately buy them. Car looks great man... will they work on these?

Once again, great option for those with the PITA cast aluminum OEM style tips. Looks like my stainless tips with lip but a lot cheaper !

i dont think they would work on yours...but you could get some made with your dimensions...you would have to weld em on though most likely...which might make em look burnt and they could rust at the welds...

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
