Anyone know where I can get just 1 GMMG tip? I'd almost hate to get one off of ebay simply b/c it may be the one that i lost.


What a jackass.

Easy killer! Just trying to be funny....not trying to offend anyone and apologize if I did. And to be honest, I don't really care if your car is faster than mine.

A weld isn't going to stop a thief. Maybe slow him down.

Welded on = Cordless Sawzaw

I think he was refering to the ghetto retards that donk out their caprices.

But anyway that sucks, hopefully you get a new set or one to replace the one that got taken.

I apologize as well, was in a bad mood when i replied. looked at it today wondering what the hell was i thinking!

i also agree weld is just going to make the thief have to work a little harder to get it off.

my Buddie was staying a night in a hotel he comes out and his spoiler was gone??wtf?..ppl just scope really low.

DANSBIRD reason i asked if u called the police cause if theres a police report u can report to your insurance agency and maybe get some money??? just maybe .

I would stick with the GMMG tips imo. mix matching tips on the best catback for our cars just isnt right imo.

I was trying to think why we didn't weld them and I guess it's b/c if something ever happened to the tip or whatever, I wouldn't have to hack up the GMMG stainless catback. That thing isn't cheap. I never thought of welding them on, mainly b/c i never thought anyone would actually try to steal them.

I like the tack-welding idea. I may have to try that next time. As much as i like the corsa tips, I agree w/ 01CaMMMaro... I really don't want to mix match tips w/ catbacks... I agree that the corsa tips look better, but i'll probably stick w/ the GMMG.

I wish GMMG would help me out somehow. Not asking them to pay for a new set or anything, but to simply allow me to purchase just 1 at a time. I mean damn. It's not like i'm trying to just buy the tips w/out ever buying the whole catback. They already have $850 of my dollars from the 1st go round. They don't want to be stuck w/ an extra tip.... how much space does that take up? 8" X 6" at the most? Guess what... if something happens and someone else needs just 1 tip, well, you have another left over, making another full set you can sell.

I want to contact the higher ups that threw this together and ask them that for the next event, don't say the cars are going to be guarded in the host-hotel when they actually arent. If i was at some po-dunk hotel that wasn't affiliated w/ the event and something happened, yea, that's on me.... but i stayed where they suggested b/c they said the cars would be safe. Simply marking off an area w/ a stan of yellow tape is not what i would consider "guarded".

/rant.

Call up Ron or Mike at Vengeance Racing. They used to work for GMMG. Maybe they can help you out or talk to Matt for you.

That's shity customer service. I bet some Mecham tips would look pretty similar/just as good. If those aren't available then find some corsa clones.
