Default Make you own CME tips?
I have been searching for a CME exhaust, well we all know how much these things go for. I was looking on ebay and I found the for 400 bucks! . Well what do you think about taking some stock exhaust tips and some how fabbing them up to look like the cme's. I know it isn't gonna look near as good but I think 2 stockers under the license plate would look real nice.

Just shooting around some ideas what do you think?

I have seen them and since they are rectangular with sharp edges it does not match the valence, and looks pretty bad...IMO
