Side Covers
Hi, I was wondering if anyone still makes/sells side covers for touring cars?

Re: Side Covers
Garret, I presume you mean side curtains, sometimes called storm curtains. Side covers is a term usually used to describe the covers on the valve chambers on the side of the engine block.
Hope this helps.

Re: Side Covers
If you have a car with fittings for side curtains already in place, I would suggest you order new curtains WITHOUT the corresponding fittings in place.
Then you can fit them precisely to the ones on your car. It doesn't take much misalignment of fittings to make for a really sloppy appearance when the curtains are fitted. Installing the fittings in the curtains to suit your car will allow you to compensate for differences in position and likely shrinkage in the top.
