New Exhaust Tips, Tach, and Fan.

I went to the big swap meet in Jefferson on Saturday and picked up a couple things for my '87. I got a Sunpro tachometer that I mounted on the steering column, two y-pipes that I cut and painted and welded on, and an electric fan. I also got a deep pan for my 700R4 with a drain plug. Did anybody else around here go? I love how much parts you can get for cheap.
Sunpro Tachometer: $50
Two Y-Pipes: $20
16'' Electric Fan: $45
Deep Tranny Pan:
$25
$140
Here's some pictures. Tell me what you think. I take constructive criticism.

Looks good. The pipes are a little close to the tire though

Thanks, I know what you mean. Here's what happened. I cut off my old exhaust and put on headers, with dual exhaust over the transmission cross-member, with a thrush turbo muffler on each pipe. I was so eager to get the exhaust done, that I took it to a Mexican exhaust shop not even half a mile away from my house. They did it that night, and long story short, they did a terrible job at lining it up on each side. I told them I wanted it right under the spring hangers on the front of the leaf-springs. They were right on one side, but at least 4 or 5 inches off on the other side, which is pictured in my first post.
I should have taken it somewhere else. I'll probably fix it later if it creates any problems. Thanks for the replies.
