I was thinking someday black side-pipes and chrome heat shields on my red 79. What wheels are they.

Side Pipe Addition
Well I finally got the side pipes and heat shields put on and love them!
I know that some don't like the side pipes but I do. What suprises me is that they are actually more quiet than the old exhaust was. The amount of vibration in driving is almost all gone. Also eliminated a lot of vibration sounds in the car.
The heat shields were also simple to put on, thanks Bangkok Dean for the link.
Here is a pic of them also if I can figure out how to add it...

Thanks for the inspirational pics! I just started the "pre-installation" yesterday attempting to get the rocker covers off my '72. Two frozen screws which have been soaking in Liquid Wrench overnight but I probably will have to slot the heads to get them out. I also have Dean's steel shields waiting in a box for the final touch.
