Default Looky what i got

i just got it in today. both the valence and tips look brand new/unpainted. some day i need to figure out how to put pics up. i have LM II right now so im thinking im just going to have some 90 degree bends made and adapt the CME to that. i was lucky (i think). the seller put a BIN at $500. i jumped on it! here is a link to the auction since i dont know how to take pics and post them up here:

thanks bud...i think the seller wasnt aware of the demand for the product or just wanted a quick sell. there are a couple USED CME's on ebay right now that have several days left that are already up to over $300:

Usually the individual sellers are the one's with the deals. Those parts yards know damn well what their stuff is worth. I think there should be a section of Ebay relegated JUST to private person-to-person sales.

no, he just used the picture as an example. the actual one i received is unpainted and the tips look like they have never been mounted, or at lease never welded to anything.

Good find. Back in the day 2002, I bought my CME valence/tips/90 degree bends for $150.00. Did not get them installed until 2006.
