    Side Pipe Covers.....with a couple PICS NOW!!!!

    I was reading some where some people think this is an easy swap a roo.....

    It isn't.

    Maybe the Brazilian ones are.:huh:

    I'll explain and maybe just maybe this weekend I will post some pics of the one side I have installed. First if if you are scared of cutting metal this is not for you. You have to clearance the rocker panel and the wheel wells both frt and back.( or add some metal depends on how you go) Not to mention you have to cut cover and add a section.

    Maybe I can get Maverick Man to make a mold and make some CF ones after I get done fitting both sides.:D

    I'm digging the look. I'm not digging the extra work:(

    The old school Thrush pipes were the hotness. I like the square exits and ribbed covers.
