The best switches I hav ever bought ... ever

I know, it's really hard to get excited about switches, but I just got these from Summit yesterday. They are about 16 bucks a piece, but look at them. If you have one of these things, and you have one of these switches, it makes it look like your car is getting ready to do something really big. Buy them now!

Please tell me you didn't just buy switches for the look.

Yes I did. I also bought a painless wiring harness, but I was more impressed with the switches. By the way, nice cowl hood. Did you buy that just for the looks?

Of course he didn't. He bought it to cool the engine bay and get the cowl effect.

Hmmm, I haven't heard of this "cowl" effect.
How do you get "cowl" effect on a tpi??

My hood was shot, I needed a new one. I bought a fiberglass hood to save weight and the vents in the cowl help with underhood temps. Any more questions?

*note: I wasn't ragging on you for buying the switches, but with a comment like "you have one of these things, and you have one of these switches, it makes it look like your car is getting ready to do something really big. Buy them now!", you were just begging to get ragged.

Oops! If it's TPI the only cowl effect I meant was the airflow and cooling features of it. Un-huh.

That red cover is really cool, and it keeps you from accidentally flipping a switch, so I say you have a good find. Or you could buy a .30 cent switch from the hardware store and have it look hoke. The nice cars are the ones with attention to detail. on the switch if you can afford it

I was just busting his chops, and I'm man enough to take it in return. I think the picture is funny.

The sad part is, around here, that cow paint job would fit right in.

I just think the switches are trick. They are pretty heavy duty too. I was pleasantly surprised. BADGTA, I envy your ram air hood. I think it looks wicked awesome ... if only it looked right on a 1973 Nova.
