Flares
I have a 72 convertible and am considering installing flares on the car and have researched the different types. But every pic I have found has side pipes on it. Wanting to find some pics of a coupe or vert with flares but no side pipes. Anyone know of any off the top of there head? I would appreciate it thanks.

You are correct that a car with flares and no side pipes look out of place.
After my hookers and factory side pipes rusted away i went with stock exhaust and just put some Ecklers side pipe covers on to correct the look.
With and without, hard to tell when in primer. Hope this helps.
