Lightbulb Corvettec5dude Oval Tips: Rolled or Straight Edge? Pics Please

Hi,
I am looking to get a pair of Oval Tips for my 993 Carrera S from Josh (Corvettec5dude) and note that he now offers them straight edged or rolled.

If you have either of these fitted, can you please post a pic so I can see the difference please.

Thanks guys.

I have seen the previous threads where he was supplied an example set of WB tips to use as a template and having emailed Josh and asked him if he supplies for a Carrera S he said yes and asked which type I preferred (rolled or straight edge)?

Hmmmmmm. I was the guy who supplied him my OE tips so he could get the offset correct. Josh offered me a free set of tips for supplying him the mules. I sent the mules in the fall of 2007.

About a month ago I got sick of waiting and ask for my OE 4S tips back. I had to remind him who I was and what I wanted back by sending him previous E-mails.

It took him a while to find my WB tips and return them (without any freebies).

When you decide rolled or straight and order your tips please let me know if they fit. I have my doubts, but hope he got the offset patterned because if he did he owes me some tips.

And I thought I was done with this whole mess.

I know that he of offering sets for the 2S because he accidentally sent some to my buddy. They are similar to the ones I have on my cab, but were not straight, they had a bend in them.

My buddy sent them back to him and about a month later, he got the correct set. Josh has some major customer service issues. But the price is good.

I have the straight cut and they came in pretty rough shape. I had to clean them up quite a bit. Lots of overspray from the black matte finish inside had worked its way out to the edges and beyond. The cut was pretty poor too. Let me see if I can get some pictures

Thumbs down

Interesting information, thanks guys. Interesting because Josh has today confirmed by email that they do not make the wide body tips?
