LOOKS GREAT. The only thing I can see is that it seems as if they didn't blend it all the way. It seems as if there is still a crease/line on the 2nd pic just above the tips. Other than that drop it and it'll look finished to me.

GREAT eyes!! There actually IS a line there! If you see it in the daylight, theres a ridge under the license plate.

When seen up close, it loks like GM designed it that way. It's actually looks REAL good. The line only goes from mid bumper to mid bumper on either side.

yup i can attest to that...when we picked it up and were driving home the car looked fkn clean from behind and that line seems like it was straight from the factory...the guy that blended it in just continued that line...either way Val looks amazing mike...i'm pretty jealous lol

By the way...i'm really starting to lean towards two toning the car when i get by valance blended and do it in black...but since the berger is in satin black and the stripes are gonna be gloss black i dunno which one to pick ...kinda leaning towards the gloss right now...or should i just do it in pewter and match it to the car? whatcha think mike?

Thanks Venom!!

Ok fellas, it was a decent day (light wise) at L.A. Invasion.... here's the "good" pics i promised. Too bad there's some cloud cover and the red doesn't pop as much...sorry.

(Oh, and the last pic has my clothing companies logo in the center cap: "Sommer Eighty-Six")

Nice looking Manta!
Also Sweet job on the CME Valance. I have the CME setup on my 02 SS as well.
I had to jump up to an Aftermarket set to allow for Exhaust Flow but still kept the Design
True! It's the Kewlest Tip Design for the Camaro.
Keep up the Nice work

Found them on an ebay site.
Just type in 3" CME Tips and it should pull them up.
If not I can find the receipt

No. I decided to go a different route and got an SLP grille. Here are some newer pics of the car.... Enjoy
