Default Side pipe covers

Has anyone used sidepipe covers they bought from an aftermarket vendor? Are they any good? Is there anyone who restores your originals? Mine are a little chewed up and I'm almost finished with the restoration and I really can't put these old ones back on.

They fit fine, as long as it is not an NCRS car. They are painted between the polished parts not at all like the originals, and the inside fiberglass pc. should be black press mold not a pc. of plastic or SMC glass, and semi not gloss black. I just bought a set of NOS covers last week and had them side by side.
