Default C4 69 Side pipes and side fenders

I finally got my 69 faux Sidepipe covers and side fenders for the C4's done. Can't figure out how to post on here but was able to put pics in my albums. Check it out and feel free to post the pics on here if you would like. Thanks...

Not sure what I think about the side exhaust but those fender vents look pretty cool. Nice car,too!

I think they look good and the install is very nicely done. We arent used to seeing that and its kinda refreshing to see something different. Definately not for everyone. Im curious how they sound!

The side pipes covers are non functional. Although there is a large enough cavity to install an exhaust if someone wanted to design one to fit. I wanted to make them to give the C4's a different look. They are a direct replacement for the original bolt on rocker panels.

I'm not really into anything "faux" but your Vette looks Beautiful
I'm amazed how much the combo ties the look into the C3 generation.

I tried to post a direct link to your album pictures, but ended up with different corvettes posed with scantily clad women (not that is a bad thing).

I've got albums in my profile. I'll try to figure out how to post pics on here when I get a chance. I figured it our a year or so ago, so it can't be too hard.

I thought they'd look goofy until I saw the pictures of them on the car. They look great with the matching grills.

Here is my original 69 with chrome four into one Hooker headers and side pipes. Imagine, in the day..full chrome, with side pipes and insert baffles, $250.00 brand new...

while I really appreciate all the work of fabrication, and paint, and the way you have modeled the factory style sidepipes, it's a shame they are non functional after all that fabrication, and you still have the exhaust protruding out of the rear of the car...it just looks odd, although your car is beautiful, the the faux inserts for the quarter covers are very nice.

Looks fantastic! Damn good job on the paint on the side pipes and the gills. Those are really cool!
