Look nice.

They look like "tall" covers. Any problems with clearance near wiper motor?

Thanks and the only clearance problem was the a/c bracket on the 91,had to trim it a little.They are tall to clear the stud girdles and the full length baffles seem to have helped a ton with the vac/pump pulling oil out.Drove about 20 miles today and puke tank was dry.
