Exhaust tip covers
My '92 has the stock exhaust tips on it and they're looking a little beat up.
I was browsing through Ecklers this morning and noticed that they have some polished metal exhaust tip covers that looked like they might improve the appearance of my tips.
Has anyone had any experience with these? Are they worth getting?

Re: Exhaust tip covers (383 Stroker)
uh..... after reading that I'm not ordering from Ecklers.
There must be someplace else I can get these.... MidAmerica perhaps? Or maybe a smaller company that would sell them at a less outrageous price?
If anyone has any information please let me know.

Re: Exhaust tip covers (vette_dreamer)
Mid America has stainless steel tips...page 4-25 of thier new catalog...I have them and have seen them on a number of vettes...I think they stick out too far from the rear of the car..so I cut off about 1 1/2 inches or so....they now are an exact fit over the stock tips...looks good..... :seeya

Re: Exhaust tip covers (DINO)
how much are the ones in mid america? I don't remember them being $200
I thought they were more like $25. They're just covers. But I could have read it wrong

Re: Exhaust tip covers (Bradley33)
I actually had a set of stainless steel (I think, if not they're chrome) on my '94 that I pulled off.
Zips (Corvette Mall link above) sells stainless tips for about $90. I'm looking to sell mine off. I'd take $50 or so for them if you're interested.
If you want I can clean them up a bit and take a pic.
IM me if you're interested.
