Default Installed drivers side after work...

I must say the quality of these pieces is really 1st rate,they have many complex curves to them and must be difficult to produce them at this high a level.Full-size with excellent coverage like the OE pieces and not like the short-sized OER crap that is reproduced.
Here it is against my OE piece,exact I'd say:




Installed,gonna look killer in the sun :

those look killer John, You're right, the repros suck. I have a 69 I'm building for a friend as soon as the Chevelle is done, I wonder if Matt would make me a set in flat resin.

I like them but I need to get it out in the sun first...that satin finish looks hot too but they didn't have any in stock currently.

Ah crap, I didn't need to see those pics in the car! That's going to be a spendy day...now I gotta return the ultra crappy OER ones...or sell them to somebody that likes long black rubbery things. :

Those look killer....

Those look good John. I wish they made them for the g-body (Malibu) interior. This might be a stupid question but can you change the color of carbon fiber without losing the carbon fiber look? IE white instead of black. Dyeing it perhaps. Either way it looks good.
