I think a nicely finished IRS looks really cool.
I do prefer the spare tire cover on my 73.
Just my opinion.

Yes I see your point about side exhaust. The mufflers in the rear do block the view. I guess it depends on what you consider your car to be a show piece that doesn’t get used and is trailered to shows. Or a semiretired muscle car that stretches its legs every now and then. Ike

of the flats I have had in my lifetime, 3/4ths have been road hazard flats.. big bolts i have run over, sidewall tears, etc... makes the plugs and fix a flat juice moot. where you need a spare or a tow.
i myself would rather at least be working instead of waiting sometimes hours for a tow, so I have a proper spare with tools in my car. a proper spare and tools solves all issues.
