^^thanks! I appreciate it, i willdefinitely keep you guys informed because i am also very interested in having a setup like this...
the only dilemma I came up with is that I don't know where i would get tips for the #2 option, obviously there could be some alternative to the CME style tips, but I have not looked into it yet. As for #1 and #3 those tips would be easily attained...
Just wondering what alternatives there are to option #2 that would be almost as wide as the CME for people who don't like two or four round tips in the rear.....

That second option looks really good! If someone would produce the valance and the tips like that I would be all over that! Cant wait to hear what they have to say..

Thanks for using pics of my car for your photochop. Personally I like it the way it is stock but I also like your #2 and #3 options. I have a good friend that owns a body shop and he does lots of custom work. I have an extra CME valence that I will give him and see if he can produce any of the designs that you came up with. Here's a more recent pic of my car than the one you used.

No prob! One of the coolest ideas I've seen so far...

I don't think it would be too difficult to spread the tips for option 2. You would have to cut back behind the tips and manufacture something to make them work, but it's definitely possible. A decent exhaust shop should be able to come up with something good for them. They might actually flow better having them spread and the exhaust pipes not having to bend so much...

The third photo looks nice but has to make sure that the tips aren't too close or else the bumper will melt from the heat

The original CME tips can be modified to work with a valance like in #2. They'd have to be cut at the middle bar that holds them together and maybe some slight fabrication on the exits to make them sit correctly.

thats just the thing. I don't have the time, nor the equipment and skill to produce these things, which is why I am contacting outside sources to see if they are interested in production.......

In the case of the tips, I'd have to say that you can either buy originals and modify them or wait for pypes to come through for people. I'm sure most people would buy the valance and just modify the cme tips. It seems like they are the only ones that see how much interest there is in the tips. However, the price of originals is slowly climbing down. I've heard some people saying they've gotten tips and 90* bends for around $200-$250 and the bends wouldn't even be necessary on that valance.

As for the valance, I'd hang in their with Klumzyee and see if he'll come through for you on this one. I know how much it sucks to wait. It was about 7-8 months after I had originally dropped off my valance that I finally got my setup on my car. He came through on everything he told me he would since day one. Once again, good luck. Those are very good designs and I'd be interested to see what becomes of it.

I like the second one. Not a fan of the 1st or 3rd. I think the 1st and 3rd would look good if they were all the way inside the bumper mold.

To the Op: Didnt know what you ment at first (I took a quick look at the picture and thought it was a regular CME for some reason). I can make this NP =)

Price would be a $280 shipped group buy (little more $ because we're doing more then just copying this time). Of course it wouldnt have a 6 month downtime like the CME. (Reason for the downtime was because we tried to save 98redM6's original valance - Project took about 1.5 months after he gave us the okey to hack it apart).

I'll get working on this.. In the mean time I need someone with

1. a Camaro Rear bumper (in good condition - I do not care about paint as long as it hasnt been hit/damaged). (SoCal 626 area)
2. Someone that can swing by for some test fitting (in return you get a free painted valance =))

PM me if you fit the requirements (in January)
