Newly blended CME
Thats nice. Where did you locate the cme stuff? I keep posting in the want ad but come up with nothing. I really want a dual outlet cme. By the way my parents live in Tuttle, I military that's why in GA. Oh yea, GO COWBOY!

I bought the CME stuff while it was still in stock awhile back just took me some time to get it all done up. As my plates show I'm from WA but I'm in OK due to the military as well. Just finishing up my masters at OU this fall then I'm returning home for good. I'm in no way loyal to OU just happened to be the closest school to me at the time. I'll always be a Zag fan!

Haha, for what I paid to go there I'm entitled. I paid $600...for the blending. I'm not even going to go into how much I paid to go to GU...

$600 is a VERY reasonable price, they did a great job from the looks of it too.

First Off I love the CME and have it on my car too. But at the risk of being called a hater I must say I love the concept but not the execution the body shop did. (their fault not yours)
I would call it more of a filled job rather than a blending job because they left a very hard (sharp) edge still which is very evident by the shadow line in the pictures. Your car looks very nice but the whole concept of blending is to make it look like the rear valance came that way from the factory. Right?
Currently it still looks like an add on piece IMO and most likely not the look you were looking for or spending good $$$ on.
Please don't think I'm doggin on your car but for taking 2 1/2 weeks
I think your body shop should have done a better job. Personally for waiting that long and paying $600 i would take it back and have it blended properly or you may regret it later for not doing anything about it. But if you are totally happy with the results then that is what really matters in the end as you know.
There is a member here and on Cardomain who has a white SS with the RK sport front valanve and rear CME valance "Blended" in so nicely you would swear it was a factory piece as there are not hard edges to tell you otherwise. I wish I could find the pictures to show you what I mean but it is a remarkable job they did to his car.
Not the white car but here are some pics of a good Blended job
This one isn't too bad either (except for the tips in too far), just doesn't show up as much as it does on light colored cars. Doesn't seem worth the $$$ on a black car.
