Default Single CME exhaust/valence(cyclop) on white Camaro?

I want to do be different and look great too. I really like the cyclop CME from 6LE and right now theyre running a crazy 20% sale!

my car;


Yeah yeah, the Transformer sticker, blah blah, it will come off when the winter is over...

and this is what I want;


in a semi-black Berger panel/valence combo with Harell style stripes with manta setup too in semi-gloss black;


Note that this the 3'' version, I prefer the 2.5'' tips(see middle pic).

If its really ugly, I'll try to fit my gloss black painted Hooker tips in the center. One guy did a quad setup with Corsa clones but it doesnt look that good because theyre not centered.

Q. Is it hard to install the valence?

There is no pic anywhere of a white SS with this setup and I really want to be unique. I think it will be great!!

Leaving the valance black makes it look incomplete. The purpose of the cme is to blend and look smooth. The rest of the black stuff would be ok but I think cme should always be body color.

I agree with buell, I think it would look cleaner if it was body matched

I'm still hesitating for valence color, but there is a member here that has a white SS with a black valence and it looks sooo good!!

I think it would look bad *** man and who cares about what others prefer, do what you want to do and I guarantee even with/without a body colored valance you will not see another one like it locally.

Thanks for the good words!! I'm pretty decided about it!

I think I'll go with white paint, and I'll paint it with plasti-dip..I'll have both!!

This is not exactly what you're looking for but it kind of gives an idea on a white car!!

I think the single cme tip is cool, but paint the Valance, it looks much better and finished imo

Thanks a lot for the pic whiteheartbeat!!

I'm starting to think that white painted valence is the way I'm going...

But now I'm really hesitating between the double 3'' tips and the single 2'' tips. Its because of this car below!!!Damn its soooo nice!!

Found another great pic of a single tip



This one has a lip though, but I prefer without a lip!

I like the white one.above thats so clean, and the double looks better but the single would for sure be different. I'm going with the corsa clones

where did you find 4"???? I was planning on doing that when I had my T/A but never got to. Are they from a sponsor? or eBay?

This is the first time I've seen the single CME tip. I heart CME on Camaros, but the dual tips, with lips. IMO, the single CME tip looks like you're trying to incorporate the catfish look from the front onto the back. No bueno.
