Default Black colored sidepipe covers for those that asked

Finally got around to digging this photo up. Was taken at a car show, so it's clean :cheers:

Very stealthy looking - maybe too much for my tastes.
They look mean - but only if you notice them - might be tough from a distance.
I'm eventually going to paint black - and add sidepipes.

I think I would like them much better, if the fins were highlighted
with a contrasting color (silver,yellow,orange,red).

Thanks for the pic. :thumbs: :seeya

Very nice looking. I was thinking about painting mine black as well (white car). I have 12" glasspacks welded into my sidepipes. Did you modify yours at all?

Bob :cheers:

Not at all, the Hookers are much bigger than these. I had a set of the 69 style and having covers on them was great. I love the looks of sidepipes just not on my car, too loud and restrictive.
