Default Side pipe covers?
Just installed factory side pipes on my 69
and I have the fiberglass covers(could'nt
boot the money for the real ones!) could
someone post some close up pictures of
their covers so my paint guy can reproduce
them as close as possible.
I would like to get it as close as I can to
factory look.
Thanks alot guys!!

I believe the top edge of the cover were it screws in
to the body and the inside of the fins are semi gloss
black, is this true?

Inside the fins is a grey/silver, the top edge where it mounts is a semi flat black.
