They "look" about the same......but the could be 3 inches by 1 inch.

It's all relative right?

Not quite sure how you'd mount them and at least the curved edge on the top would be somewhat under the cowl. The point of FRC's is to cover up the ugly coils and stuff. You'd have to put some plastic behind these for color and to hide the coils. It's an interesting project idea though.

Nice idea. It would still need more detail added but that would be a start if it was the right dimensions.

If you had to break the chrome for any reason (bending/cutting) you might as well start from scratch and chrome/polish a handmade "fitted" cover. ~Joshua

I think he meant sticking these on smoothed out FRC's... I could be wrong but that would make sense.
