chrome lip
 
I have found out a way to make a chrome lip for your xmods rims its like 99 cents. first buy a metallic sharpie marker, then just simply trace whatever you need chrome and thats pretty much it.

I dismantled the different tiers of tubing of an old (and three-foot-long) controller antenna, which is both chrome and hollow, since each section had to house the next one, so now I've got like six different pipe diameters that can be made into tips after a few minutes with a hacksaw.

Or a few seconds with a Dremel.
It's sort of hard to get the ends smooth, though.

Yeah, here you go: this is about the middle-size.
