79 side inserts

Hi guys,

does anyone know if the 80-82’ side inserts also fit a 79’?
Bonus question : is it possible to fit these 72 to 69 inserts on a 79/ if someone makes these for a 79’?

many thanks from across the pond!

80-82 inserts do not fit a 73-79.

You can do anything if you are willing to cut fiberglass, but the only inserts I've seen for a 79 fit inside the pocket, and block the airflow (so, not advised). I've seen people do cool things with LEDs, though, if you want to add some interest to your vents without cutting the body.

As said you can do anything, this is a 79 with the 68 Gill design.
