4th gen tips installed/molded into bumper

Before you check out the pics,check out my shop and website
www.2ndIINoneMotorsports.com

I finally had some free time and decided that the 4th gen tips that I bought a few weeks back were ready to be installed. It took some work in order for the tips to be molded into the bumper but I am completely satisfied. I had to cut the bumper,some of the bracing and then had to bend new exhaust pipes.All in all,it was worth the time..I think i spent almost 6 hours give or take to finish this project.Im done talking and i'll let the pics do the talking

Before

Middle


After

Misc pics



I will take better pics tomorrow

Way Cool!! I would have tried to bring them a little bit closer together, but it looks awesome nonetheless. I think I said this before in another post but 4th gen tips molded into the rear bumper of a 91-92 camaro= in my opinion, the best looking exhaust on a thirdgen camaro period. I believe that you are the first one to go ahead and do this. I only wish I had the guts to try... Once again, great job!

Thanks for all the compliments!!!

And Camaroguy:You are right,it took some major guts! I just had my car painted a year and a half ago and it was a pretty penny...So it took some major guts for me to do it...No risk no reward was my mentality Thanks for all the compliments...

Next mod in line is the lambo door kit

Looks like you did a mighty fine job.

Your car looks way better without the cowl also.

Sounds good. I wouldn't go with anything but a flat hood (Iroc or Z28) unless you make up for it out back with a 5" or high rise spoiler.

i think the tips need to be reangled so they point straight back instead of angle up, other than that it looks great.

email me at js2ndiinone@aol.com and I can order you a set at my wholesale cost. also check out my shops website www.2ndIINoneMotorsports.com

chevymec Nice !!! I got the same tips , just gotta put them on.
I think it looks good if you mold them into the bumper or if you run them under the bumper...Either way,its something different

phoenix305 i think the tips need to be reangled so they point straight back instead of angle up, other than that it looks great.
I didnt like the look of it being straight back.It didnt go with the body lines of the rear bumper...Pictures dont show how well they look in person... I also angled them because if you look at the rear bumpers of my camaro,it angles out...It doesnt look like this I at the rear of the bumper more or less it looks like this \ .And that is at the bottom of the rear bumper


darkhorse91 that's friggen awsome. What all did you have to go through to get those to sit up there and what tools did you use?

Well first off it took some guts to cut into my rear bumper even though it was just painted...After that,i used masking tape,sawzaw,angle grinder,tube bender and my welder

I have been so busy with work that I havent had the time to upload the pics. I have some free time tonight so I will post up the pictures people have requested.

As for the rims,they are 18" irocs on 245/40/18 Bfg tires

I can get a set of 18" iroc and tires for a pretty good price...Check out my site www.2ndIINoneMotorsports.com and give me an email

sweet now all you need to do is get a decal in the empty spot on your bumper where there used to be one. Looks kinda wierd without it.

most cars I think that looks good but some genious decided to make recesses for the emblems so it looks bad without them. Maybe if you could make it so the indented line flows smoothly instead mof havong a big rectangle it would look better. I think your car looks great anyways. I just thought that area could use some improvement.

I can't really tell from the pics but are the rockers smoothed where the emblems go? If not they should be.

I'm sory I'll stop telling you what to do to your car now. Keep up the good work.

<kind of contradicting yourself~

I know that is your opinion but is there anywhere in the manual that says there has to be emblems in the rocker panel?or how about that I cant lower my car?

My point is I built my car to my taste just as you are doing with your car. So saying they should or shouldnt be is kind of out of the line. Anyways, i know im probably going to get flamed but I think everyone on the internet now a days is a little uptight about their opinions...

Anyways,keep on

sorry i forgot to insert "I think" before they should be. I totally respect what you're doing to your car and was just throwing some ideas your way. If you don't like them that's fine but if you did I would be glad to have helped that's all. I also said I'd stop telling you what to do to your car because I know it's your choice.

and I love the tips still.
