Wanna design a set for my 69??

Did you modify the indent on the drivers side front that is for the GTO p/s resevoir? That is the one part that bugs me about them..

We need better pics though.. :p

It was pretty damn quick though, I haven't even seen a GTO yet.

Awesome, but it doesn't look like they required too much modification. Is this true? If so, those are gonna be way better than the ZO6 FRCs..

How the hell are those going to fit? You got a lot of trimming and resituating to do to get those honkers in. They are pretty though....but you should have fit them before you put that awesome paint job on. Good luck, man.

Those look really nice. Did you have to modify them at all to get them to fit? What are your plans for the intake? It looks kind of dull next to the nice shiny FRC's.

The only place that i cut was in the front of the covers. And they really dont even absolutely need that. If you look on the covers of a GTO there is a little cut out for the the power steering reservoir. I just made that one straight line. Cutting the fronts of the them was just a cosmetic thing. And i also cut the lip off of the back of them, and you don't even have to do that. The only reason i did that was because the lip kept getting caught on wires and just made it easier to install.

Get some finished pics out in the daylight so we can see those covers better.
One question, were those "GTO" lettering hard to sand off? or did they pop off?
