I'm curious too, how do you blend the valances to the cover???? What product? I'm assuming best results would be with the bumper cover mounted.

CMEs rock, really a nice touch to the back end IMO.......

I'm seriously considering getting a custom CME like yours (I need a custom job because I have a Mufflex system with dual 3" out) but first and foremost need to get my hood painted and am wondering who does your work...


they went out of business right after they did my CME....they were in Rowland heights (the guy couldnt take the strress of all the asians trying to get a deal on actual costs of repairs)....that owner now works for brea auto body and i understand they do excellent work, hood still isnt painted!

rivet the valance about every 4" or so into the stock bumper....then go at it with a good body filler, preferable a fiberglass or plastic filler that is very flexible....sand the **** out of it, primer, sand,repeat, paint etc

I really didn't know the valence used 3M tape. Thats even easier. Do you have to do any mods to fit the catback. I'm asking becuz I'm getting mine soon.

It uses the 3M tape and 3 "rivets". I got the whole muffler with tips still attached. So all I have to do is weld it to the over the axle pipe

Nice CME man, I've got the same one except I stripped down the black on the inside and repainted it red. Looks f*ckin sick at night with the red tag light shining down on it. You get yours from that guy on ebay as well?
