I was short on time when I posted this, the driver side is just about final.
I had to go out tonight, so I decided to "test" the fitment before I did the right side. I did 80-85mph for 40miles on the hwy, no bends, rattles or issues. I also sat at idle for 15-20min, zero issues.
I did use, 3m double sided tape.
Note the bottom is rolled under like 90 degree. I can't roll the area around the tips.
I thought about rivets all along outer edge but I like the smooth blended look.
Mark, 6LE whats your thoughts?
Thanks for pros and neg comments.

Thanks Mark.
I may shoot some white and see how it looks, or semi gloss black. For sure though I've gone too far to go back. I will finish the right side today.
As far as the tips, I agree the ovals or square tips could work but with the SLP 2OTL, the left side is a challenge for those tips. I'd have to hack them up anyway. The right side is fine since I have a borla type design over the axle.
I guess love it or hate it, it didn't turn out to look like a hack, its just a different look.
In the end we all agree on something...we love our TAs.

Good idea, but the design needs a lot more refinement. If it were me, I'd make a whole new panel for the whole "CETA" insert area that includes the license plate area and reshapes most of the bumper, rather than "cheap" looking sheet metal inserts on a plastic bumper.
