To say the least, I was very disappointed. I thought they would complete my old school look very well.

I guess all I worry about is mixing too many eras, that's why I wasn't sure about the bullitt louvers

Well overall, they won't be going on. I bought them used, had them painted black and then tried the install. I don't know if they are just a crappy product, a bad fit because they were used and possibly warped from being removed by the previous owner or what but they fit like crap. So unless I decide to buy another set that are new I am not sure what i am going to do about side window pieces. I thought about having my rear louvers painted black and try a bulitt style or just not do any side window pieces at all.

In general, I'm not a fan of Cervini at all. But that part in particular I don't like because I feel like it's just too big of a piece to stick on there. I feel like I have to pretend to not see the giant thing covering the window. And when I stop pretending and see that it doesn't blend in, I just think it looks stupid.

I bought those Cervinis side window covers. I hope i don't regret the decision. I gave them and my duck tail spoiler to the painter who is going to get them all prepped for painting. He has experience with Cervinis parts and knows how to get them prepped properly. He originally did them like how Cervinis states in their documents, but then called them to get some insight and they told him their secrets on how they do it in shop. Supposedly they burn off the release agents right off of the piece using a blow torch. They say it is the quickest and best way to get them all cleaned up.
I guess I will look at fitting the window covers first before paying to get them painted, that way I can make sure they fit.
I am going with Cervinis parts all around and I think those covers will look good, with what I am also trying to accomplish. Bad thing is I won't be getting the work done now until late May, early June, as the shop is busy with a single huge custom project.

I'm not a fan of any scoops because they serve no purpose other than wannabe looks... They are supposed to vent the rear brakes (real scoops that are bolted to the car) that's why I'm trading out of my OEM gt hood ... Can't stand fake stuff
I will run these as soon as I can afford new wheels.. The GT/CS wheels will look stupid w these... Need some drift wheels
