Default Camaro CME

Ok I bought back one the SLP CME valances I sold to a guy and was just wondering what you thought.
Should I go with the SLP tips or should I make it so my two Corsa's come out the middle like a Viper?
I'm leaning more to the Viper type look because there's nothing really special about the CME tips and then my car will just look like the stock ones.

These aren't the best pictures but they show off my Corsa tips.

If I keep the Corsa tips I will save a good amount of money as I'll already have them over having to buy the CME tips which cost a fortune. That's just another reason why I'm leaning towards the Corsa's. Not to mentiong they look plain sexy with the huge rolled chrome look.

It would look sharp as hell if you could make the corsas line up in the cme

Your idea has potential but FWIW the first thing i thought of was those tiny little tips in the center that the Mini Coopers have.

Hey man, you know how much i love your Camaro. If you get SLP tips then I'll love it even more, although it would be interesting to see corsa tips on CME.,.,.,.,..,

The whole thing keeping me from getting the CME tips is the fact that it's been done 100,000 times and that's what they came from the factory with stock.
I think the Corsa's would look really good, like the Viper and C5's have. I would have them installed by a professional shop of course so they'd be lined up perfectly.

I'm really thinking I'll go this way.

As far as I know it's never been done and if it has no ones ever posted pictures of it.
I like doing stuff that's different.


Don't worry, no matter what I'll post ***** the car out.

I think what makes it hard to put the Corsas in there is that the SLP CME is so subtle, and doesn't have a huge hole for tips much bigger than the SLP tips. It might look kind of sloppy since the tips will go down so much farther than the bottom of the CME.

Do the Corsa's. It will look like the Borla Stingers on the vettes. then you could make an exhaust plate too. Plus you wont look box-stock like every other red camaro (oops im not helping much)
Edit: after second thought, the single Corsa tips just arent enough to fill that wide opening. maybe if it were the quad tips.

Photoshop anyone?

My brother wants to do what you are thinking of with some corsa clones once the cme valance is reproduced. I think dual tips might work depending on size. However, I also think you could put them on the outermost part of the opening on each side and fill the middle with a custom exhaust plate, as mentioned above (c5 like).

I'd like to see what your car looks like with the Corsas, not sure if I'd like it or not but I would be curious to see it

See the worst case I see is I don't like it and I just install the SLP CME tips instead.
