(PS, a deep silver pewter color on the exhaust grills/trim would have been interesting too.)
They were not too much work once I figured out how i was going to make the radiuses and decide on the anchorage points. I wasted a bunch of time first considering aluminum. I don't have a tig so I tried welding some pieces of Al with my mig using Al wire and preheating, but it just didn't work.

I seriously considered painting it white, I may photoshop it and see if i like it. They looked really cool in raw steel before etch primer and paint.

Thanks for the comments.
