I'm not so sure about that. I think おいー＞おえぇ〜 in slang. So 怖い becomes こわえぇ, not こえ. Making きもい into きめ〜 doesn't feel like it's correct (well, not in the dialect of Japanese I speak), but as a non-native I could be wrong.
I just wanted to throw my one cent in until a native chimes in with his opinion.
