Been there, done that! I installed a minty original set on a Reef Turquoise 66 I used to own in the early/mid 80's and when people walked up to the car they would say "why did you paint the wheel wells red"? After I explained they were a very rare two year only option they would have this skeptical look on their face.
My old 66 pictured below was in many magazines and used on the box for a Revell model.
