I had a set on my 93. Other than the chrome bluing they didn't peel or have rust spots all over them. Since I don't have a garage my car sits in the driveway.

same here! turned blue after the first hour I drove the car, but no rust or flaking.., If you plan on getting them dont use the bbk gaskets that come with it....spend some extra $$ and get some good ones!, mine lasted 1 month with the original gaskets ..then I got a leak.


Oh yeah ..and some stage 8 locking bolts too.

Well maybe it's the humidity down here in texas cause my LT's have only been on the car for 2-3 months and they look like crap, rusty and discolored. I'll post pics later if yall wanna see.
