thanks for the reply formerCA. the cowl&pants i got are very nice fiberglass ones,just wrong color. i would hate to send $60 more on new ones. great planes said it is the first they have heard of it also. PLEASEEEEEEE, these where color-molded-in fiberglass cowls and wheel pants,if i got the wrong color,so did everyone in that lot. i would like to say after talking to tower&GP,no one offered to replace or fix the cowls or pants. however they did say they would pass it along. i think what they was saying was----passing the buck-- thanks harold
