Default Homemade cme tips
Been wanting a cme and bought a valence but didn't want to spring for the 6le tips so a buddy built me one. Turned out great.

Flatten the left one out more to match the right and start polishing!

Those look good. One of the biggest mistakes I think was when 6LE quit making the fabbed tips. I think they look leaps and bounds better than the OE style and was planning on doing a CME mod on my Camaro when they were discontinued. Keep practicing and get a jig made up and I bet you could make some money with it!

I don't think 6LE quit making them so much as the guy who made them for him stopped doing it. Retired or something.

They are complete. Went ahead and ceramic coated the tips and entire exhaust system. Kind of pricey but worth it imo.

Um.... Got a muffler on that car? Tips look amazing, like the blacked out look.

Great job!
