Interest in CME Valance Replica

**desliger** · 07-26-2007, 07:28 AM

I couldn't wait any longer since we have the tips and elbows for my dads car. I found a used valance for $300 and jumped on it.

Although, I think my car would look good with CME, I might buy one anyway.. lol

Sorry it's been really long since this has started. At $300 I would have jumped on that valance as well. I just got an update from Eric and the test sample fit good. The guy that left him use the bumper for fitment was there and also told me it fit really well. They'll be doing some minor tweaks to the valance this coming week and it should be finished pretty soon. The hold up from the manufacturer last time was because they were having some problems with the material. They're always experimenting with new materials, adding stuff to the poly urethane to make it more flexible and durable, but they got it right. I'll post more when I get more updates. Thanks everyone.

I am in as soon as it is done.

Email me at JUICED01SS@YAHOO.COM

I am DYING to pick up a CME but I cant find any.

I found one on ebay but the tips were OVER 275.00 which I bid and the valence is over 285.00 which I bid.

**98redM6** · 08-09-2007, 07:54 AM

I've seen tips going for about $450 shipped. Last I saw I saw the valance going anywhere from $500 shipped to $700 shipped.

The valance is the most important part for the look. Some people have commented that they'll just get the ebay aftermarket cme tips, put some corsa clones there, or just some custom tips. I've seen some photoshopped pictures of the corsa clones and dual tips and they look pretty good.

i am NOT paying 1150.00 for cme look.

MY true duals costed me 2500.00 and they are SICK but that GAVE ME PERFORMANCE.

Yes I know my duals are expensive.. but they are mandrel bent.. stainless steel, x pipe, over the axels.

**98redM6** · 08-09-2007, 08:40 AM

You won't have to pay $1000 for the cme look. The valance will be $300 shipped. It is up to you to decide on what tips you'd like. That's a pretty expensive exhaust setup you have though. I could get away with paying $800 for a similar setup, but I don't think I would since I don't really think I would gain much from putting them on over my custom catback.

First off, I need to see pics!

And secondly, for $2,500, the TD's better be made of no more than 5-6 pieces and be made from 304 polished stainless.

The true duals he has was custom made on the car by ARH and well worth the price....

Sorry, I got off topic!

Anyways, I just bought my CME tips! All I need is the Valence!

**98redM6** · 08-10-2007, 03:44 PM

9t8z28 how much did you end up paying for them?

It seems like you are in the same boat as at least 10-15 other people on the forums, including myself. I've been running without the valance, just the tips mounted since this began. It's getting real close now.
