Default '69 Side Exhaust - Another Question

(I've posted this on the C3 Tech/Perf forum also. Disregard this if you've seen it there.)

I'm in the process of converting my '69 undercar exhaust to side exhaust. I' looking at buying the std. side exhaust rear filler panel and filling in the rest on the openings in the rear quarter panels. Those of you that have done this before, does anyone make any half round pieces to bond to the quarter panels? Any opinions on an easier way. I don't like the looks of the aftermarket rear filler panels with the wings on them. I would rather fill in the entire opening and not have any seam at all or go with the standard side exhaust rear panel and fill in what's left.

Sorry - posted link to panel with wings ... misunderstood your Q.
IMO - I would get the wing version and just bond/fill the seam.
I have never seen half round fillers pieces that were commercially available.

With my 75 exhaust and 70 rear end, I have the opposite problem.
Sometime next year, sidepipes and a new valence panel go in.
