Default Need some advice: Corsa tips or CME??

OK here's the deal: I got two sets of corsa tips, i got the 3.5 pro series tips the 4" single tips and I also got the CME with the one piece valance. I dont know which tips to go with. I have a wings west kit so the cme would take a little extra cash to install but IMO it looks better. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'd prefer to see the CME if it's dual tips not quad, but if it's quad, go corsa, JMO

IT got the cme with the 2 tips I also have the one piece valance that goes with it. I could probably sell the corsa's and get enough money to get my CME installed.
Im gonna see about powderocating my CME tips in black with a chrome lip.
Thanks guys for all the input, I'll probably sell my corsa's once i get the CME installed.

To the best of my knowledge you can't buy the premium tips from Corsa unless you prove that you bought the system. I put mine on in Sept 01, and had to provide them the receipt from when I bought it to be able to buy new tips because I wasn't in their system anymore. If this is the case I really don't understand it, because there are people out there willing to pay $400 for these tips and they'd make a shitload of money off them. The pro's I believe you can buy correct? I know afterthoughts carries them. Or I think I know lol

Damn the confusion I like both sets but if I could see an F-body that had the Wings West Kit and the CME I could probably make a better descion. I think that the corsa would look good with the wing west kit, but the CME just grabs my attention everytime I see one. I paid alot for my corsa tips, but then I came accros a CME for very cheap so now I cant make the desicion. IF I go with the CME, that means I have to remove the rear peice of the kit and replace it with the CME which costs me more $$$.
