Tailpipe customization

Abstract

The present invention relates to a tailpipe tip assembly for inserting into a tailpipe opening comprising: a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a first opening at a first end and a fitting portion at a second end; a tailpipe tip, where the tailpipe tip includes a perimeter and the perimeter fits into an inner edge of the first opening of the sleeve and the fitting portion inserts into the tailpipe opening; and an etched design within the perimeter, where said design allows for the movement of air there through.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tailpipe tip assembly for inserting into a tailpipe opening comprising:
 a. a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a first opening at a first end and a fitting portion at a second end;   b. a tailpipe tip, where the tailpipe tip includes a perimeter and the perimeter fits into an inner edge of the first opening of the sleeve and the fitting portion inserts into the tailpipe opening; and   c. an etched design within the perimeter, where said design allows for the movement of air there through.   
     
     
         2 . The tailpipe tip assembly according to  claim 1  where the tailpipe tip is welded to the sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . A method of decorating a tailpipe comprising the steps of:
 a. inserting a tailpipe tip assembly onto an inner edge of an exhaust opening of a tailpipe, where the tailpipe tip assembly includes a sleeve, a tailpipe tip and an etched design within a perimeter of the tailpipe tip; and   b. securing the tailpipe tip assembly into the exhaust opening, where the tailpipe tip assembly is flush with the inner edge exhaust opening.   
     
     
         4 . A method of creating a tailpipe tip comprising the steps of:
 a. measuring a sleeve opening;   b. creating a cutout template for the tailpipe pipe, where the template creates a plurality of tailpipe tip fittings, where each tailpipe tip fitting correlates with the sleeve opening measurements;   c. placing the template over a sheet of metal;   d. etching a plurality of tailpipe tip fittings on the sheet of metal;   e. removing the tailpipe tip fittings from the sheet of metal; and   f. contouring a perimeter of each tailpipe, where the perimeter fits flush into an inner edge of the sleeve opening.   
     
     
         5 . The method of creating a tailpipe tip according to  claim 1  further comprising the step of polishing a face of each tailpipe fitting after removal from the sheet of metal. 
     
     
         6 . The method of creating a tailpipe tip according to  claim 1 , where sheet of metal includes stainless steel. 
     
     
         7 . The method of creating a tailpipe tip according to  claim 1 , where said step of etching include etching a specific ornamental design within the perimeter of the tailpipe tip.
