I'd rather see a big ricer wing on a Mustang than see the louvers/scoop painted a diff color!

Ok, point taken. We were thinking about black or dark grey, since they will be available in the "smoke" finish from the get-go, but that doesn't show angular detail in photos with a lot of modern digital cameras (and I expect there will be some pictures taken of it). 
We'll do white with black insets for where the transparent sections will be. Should make it easily viewable.
Oh, and our price is going to make the above post pretty much irrelevant, especially the pre-order.

Marcello,
I just read in another thread where a glass installer said our quarter windows are hard to get out w/o messing up the paint.

Well, I'm not going to say anything to the contrary, but let me put it another way that might make more sense....
To R&R the quarter window glass pays about 2 hours, and will take pretty close to it, and probably will require two sets of hands.
To R&R a windshield will pay close to the same, but will take 1/4 the time, and can be done by one person with the proper tools.
If you are a glass guy, which job would you rather take? I'm going to do the R&R myself, so that I can see just how involved it is - of course I'll be taking pictures, so it will take a bit longer, but still should give some idea what we are dealing with.

I'm pretty sure for both. Again, I'll be doing the job myself, without special tools, so I'll see what it should take. If it doesn't work, well, there will be a hole in our car next week at the show!

No, we can't afford to come out, although I wish we could. Between the MCA show next week and PRI in December, we're kind of tapped out. Hopefully next year we will be able to come out and do it, with a display and all. Now of course if you can put us up for a few days and all, maybe we can work something out
Unfortunately, we probably won't have production pieces ready by SEMA this year anyway. It's looking like November delivery on them right now, so pre-order will be getting going here hopefully this weekend.

Let me bust some *ss this weekend, and see what we can get accomplished. It's only 1:00 am a week prior to the show, no pressure as usual....
Hopefully we'll be able to release a lot prior to hitting the show.
On edit: I hate responding to only the post - I didn't read the quote taken from my prior post... so the joke doesn't work right if read in context... Ah, I should know better than to try and make a funny at this time of night anyway!
