Hope this one looks a little better:

I don't think Marcello has had enough time to actually install it yet with the show and the tropical storm and everything.
But I'm sure he will get to it very soon.
EDIT: Yeah I'm still bored, so here's another photoshop:

Yeah, it's on the short list. I have to get the medallions up on the site, people want to order them, and they can't yet...
We just got caught up with the show orders and all the orders that came in while we were at the show, so now we're getting things organized again, and getting over scratching up the rear bumper in the trailer ride home..
On the plus side, 300 sets of our new (not seen anywhere yet) door handle sets are in production.
And the new cup holder bezels that we showed off that actually hold common drinks are in production as well. Seems the machine shop had some time free up while we were gone...
Oh, and on the chops - look good, but they are kind of missing something... maybe it's the 15 degree backsweep of the vent, or something, but I'll get to work on the real deal as soon as I can to get things rolling... That, and why the passenger side? The pictures are all of the driver side piece, since the passenger side is just in the computer model world right now.
Oh, and the plates arrived for the molds, so machining should start on them by the end of the week...

Not sure what you mean by the 15 degree backsweep; I just used your pic from post #303 and cut and paste it into a full size pic. It's just coincidence that I ended up using the passenger side. I was looking for good side shots of Performance White and Tungsten stangs and they both ended up being from the passenger side.
All my work is in the computer world as well
Can't wait to see the real thing!

The real thing - November. The prototype installed - sooner. But I want to re-sand it now that I have some time and get it looking nice before bolting it to the car. And since I have to paint a back bumper as well, might as well get the correct color white for the job, rather than appliance white from ACE hardware...

When can we get some pictures of the entire thing done and painted? (even if it's just the prototype)
I'm having an extremely hard time picturing what it is going to look like.

A few good questions.
Final word on how long install will take? When will be able to see pics of an install? Is it reversible? I know everything's reversible for the right price. So I mean is it going to cost a fortune if I decide to switch back? If I pre-order is card charged now or am I just put on a list for the $109 price? Will you actually be able to see through them?

The idea with all our products is to try and always be reversible 100%. This product is no different.
Pre-orders are charged at the time of order. That's how you get the discount, and we have a little extra capital to help put towards the molds and pre-production costs. You win with a lower price, we win because we know you are getting a set.
Visibility has been a design element since day one. Will you see through them as well as the glass? No. Will you see through them better than the other stuff that is available on the market, yes.
And quit poking me..
, we're getting things done as fast as we can, unfortunately sometimes projects get moved back to get other "hot" things done... (Yes I know you are joking, so it's all good, I've just been wanting to say that now for a while ) I need some emoticons to strike back, but none of the ones in VB are what I'm looking for... hmmm, another project to get sidetracked on!!

Haha, alright I'll try and go easy on the poking. We all appreciate the fact that you even log in here at all. It's great that you're giving the consumer so much inside info and even a little bit of input on design elements. You do top notch work at an amazing price (especially the pre-order price on these louvers!). Thanks Marcello!
