Tony sure is game changing the scene around here.
Back to the side pipes...lol. Spintech offers oval tubing in stainless. Instead of a round tube along the bottom like nostalgia, use the entire length of where the skirts would be but with the oval tubing. This way the tube is more tucked under and resembles the skirts in a way. Also the stainless can be brushed, painted, or polished.
Back on topic!
