Is it possible to just do the frame and we can just apply the inserts ( checkered flag/bowtie inserts) without having to apply for a GM license , I think they're particular about the but if you just do the frame will one need a GM license?

Now I know what they'll look like on both my rides before my inserts arrive.

Thanks for the pix. Look awesome!

Correct. Those are the Black Titanium inserts from SS Inserts - perhaps not exactly the same but should be very similar. SS Inserts said that Black Titanium was their terminology for Black Chrome. Looks like Chip has a better price (as I recall both sets from SS Inserts were about $240 shipped).

Fronts are available too...

Just to be clear, we are not sourcing this product from anyone. This is a CCA Original Exclusive Product, produced start to finish by CCA.

Peace

Chip,

Sorry, I corrected my post as you DO have both sets (front and rear). I received a PM earlier from someone, that you did not carry the front letters yet.

Wish you had been selling these a year ago when I purchased mine!

Do these halo lights have that same effect?
No. No horizontal lines, and they are designed to shine light out to the sides more as well for people in the next lanes.
