getting CME
getting CME So I've been looking around to find OEM center mount exhaust and It's so expensive even used. Then today I was driving and I saw a wrecked red camaro ss with center mount exhaust driving the opposite way. I flipped around and caught up to him and he lived right by me. I offered him 150 for the exhaust and the valence and he accepted! picking it up tuesday! what a steal!

Fishing String wrapped around both hands, making it look like your gonna choke someone. start on one side of the valence and in a sawing motion continue until you reach the end. you can use a heat gun to soften the tape. google how to remove an emblem, its the same way sorta
yeah fishin line sounds about the only way i would try to do it... wouldn't wanna pull it off and break it... that is a major steal, i thought i got a good deal on mine... i just got my cme valence from 6LE today and takin it to the body shop monday to get it put on! i paid $615 for valence and tips (bought tips from another user for 225!!!

You don't need to use fishing line. I've pulled mine off and installed it plenty of times so I could get it as straight as possible and all you have to do is take the screws off on each side and the center. Then you just start on one side and pull it off.
1) If it is original CME from SLP it is a much thinner urethane and could tear or distort...
2) If it is the type I used to sell made by Klumzeye it is a thicker urethane and you should be ok but I still wouldn't chance it if it has been on there for a long time...
3) If it happens to be one of my newer ones (been selling since July so it could be) you would break it doing that as it is a flexible fiberglass and made to retain shape. Yank on it and it won't like it...
Interesting... I did it about 3 times with a valence I had from you and I did it about 6 or so times with my OEM one. The valences in my experience are not that fragile as long as you do it slowly.
haha trust me, I know. I couldn't believe it. Better yet, he had a mint SLP lid. Picking it up tomorrow for $35 I just polished the tips up with a seriers of sand paper and they look brand new. Very excited to get this on!
