Non-functional? Since these pipes are in fact part of the cars exhaust system I don't see how they can be considered non-functional. Now, if the car had an under car exhaust system and hung some ornaments on the side to look like exhaust pipes, I agree, that would be offensive. Personally if I were to consider buying one of these cars I would see it more as a daily driver than I do my roadster. I would guess that the SPF engineers and designers probably envisioned the car in the same way. Hence the air conditioning, roll down windows, accommodations for a stereo, 18" wheels, quieter exhaust, and what looked to me like an inflator bulb for lumbar support in the seat. None of these are period correct/original but all are tremendous improvements for a modern daily driver.

spf1421 - love my roadster, but a SPF/Brock coupe as a daily driver, that would be sweet!
