Default CME question

This might seem like a dumb question but Im new to this so give me a chance.
If my car doesnt come with the CME, can I still put it on? Because i know you have to have like a special bumper for it. Also, how much does it cost and can you run it with true duals?
Thanks

You should be able to run it with true duals, You are looking at 250 for the tips themselves at minimum, if you can find them, the valance will probably run around 300 to 400 dollars.....

Ok so ive been looking into the CME too and the various styles and such, i perticularly like the single CME tip. How hard can it be to make your own tips? Just bending up and welding some metal at the seams right?? for some reason the tips being sold at places seem way over priced for something that shouldnt be very hard to do yourself.. The valence on the other hand...

yeah i agree with these things being way over priced. thats why i dont have this set up. but i guess if you dont have the resources to make it yourself then buying it is your only option.
