that doesnt look to bad. mounted in the CME molding it might look good. I think the tips are too narrow or at a sharp angle, they need to be bigger.

/\ I agree. They would look really sweet with one of those custom rear valance's from the other thread, so they would be tucked up a bit.

X2 Always liked the CME. If it would fit in the valance notch and wasn't too pricey I would do it.

CME and flip them upside down. They are curved to fit the curve in the Corvette bumper. They should match the curvature of the CME valance pretty well.

I don't think the curvature of the CME valance follows the tips very well. The tips seems to be wider than the opening but anything is possible. Since the tips are cast aluminum they may be altered by cutting them in the middle and bringing them closer together to fit in the opening a little better. The valance would still need to be modified to look correct.

on a CME valence they would look completely out of place, and without a valence they look like complete *** (trust me, I have seen it done before). So without a custom valence, its a bad idea

The thing is in the photoshopped pic, I think the proportions may be off. Those tips probably aren't that big. They may actually be the width of the the CME opening.

He's right. Even if they fit in the cme, the two outside edges would have alot of extra room where the tips go to a point. So yea, the cme would need to be modded some how. It has potential but would prob require alot of work.

Just my opinion but I don't like them at all. I don't think they match the camaro's lines very well...

you guys know its not going to be that wide
its for the c5 vette

also having the curve on top would give the bottom a more straight factory look like on the c5 below



use the licence plate above as a reference point
