Adhesive backed cork, crinkle painted to match exhaust, should protect pretty well

That's a great idea!

Cool idea, but you'll get caught in the rain someday (unless you're in the part of Cali that's in the desert) or will go through some puddles and they'll get wet.

Be careful saying never in the rain. A group of us left on a Saturday morning run up through the foothils East of Fresno. Sunny and nice in Fresno, started to get cloudy at Pine Flat Lake, turned to rain and hail within minuets. Two open top cars on the trip, the 68GT500 put its top up, the FFR roadster got wet. You can get caught in the rain in California!

Ohhhhhh, you're tempting fate there. I've never been caught in rain, but have been caught in a downpour about 5 times....including 2 years ago coming home from the FFR open house. Your car will get wet. I also have no wipers (yet) or a top. I do like the spats, by the way.

Ok, ok, ok if I should get caught in the rain, i've got 3 coats of "wrinkle" paint on the cork, and if it gets screwed up, i've got the template and some more cork material, a couple of hours work. I was going to put the FFR carbon fiber spats on, but didn't think it looked too "period correct".

No chance of rain until Sat so I'm driving to work tomorrow.

Mike, Great work on the spats, How about some full side shots of the car?
