triblk6spd did one on his, and it looks sick. He cut his stock sills and didn't replace them with the Autoform ones like Dave did. Look at his "Spring Detail" thread in detailing forum on here...it gives you a pretty good idea of what it looks like.

We have done 20+ starting w/ 1996 GTS # 0033 back in 1996.

The rear outlet can be closed with a filler panel alone, or a diffuser......or you can run a trailer-hitch thru there for your RACE TIRES-TOOLBOX TRAILER !

My conversion. Daves look great but I was going for something a bit more "race car" looking.

Does the car sound better? How are the exhaust fumes by the windows? I had sidepipes on a 75 stingray and absolutely loved it, it make it a different car!

NA the sound was perfect. With the ROE the sound is a bit loud for my taste. I may even be going back to the rear exhaust soon. I have a set of Random Tech cats and a good tune by ART so the fumes are not a bother at all for me.

Ditto, i would love to do the smooth conversion like the above two GTS's. I always ride with the windows down. how is it when sitting in traffic or at a light?

Loved the look. After a year or two, the sound did start to become too much - definitely louder in the cabin with sidepipes.

You beat me to it lol. I just added a blacked out section under the triangle beneath the mirror to make the cove look deeper.

Have cats, no odor ever.
