Well,I just placed my order for the promotor, and while I was at it, i figured i may as well order the honey comb panel as well.
I just ordered the Cali Dream hood yesterday day as well, and i have had the SS ducktail in my garage for a year now, and now I am going to order the CDC classic chin. The car is going in for paint in 3 weeks. I cant wait.Kenneth

Very nice. I really like the painted U-trim on the rear window too, been thinking about getting that for ever, not sure why I haven't yet.

LOL...Let's see... painted louvers - buried here in them, and I'm working late trying to get them processed through for everyone - a lot will be shipping tomorrow and the next day, I wanted to have them done over the weekend, but forgot that little thing called "Mother's day" - put a crimp in the work schedule.
Kenneth - I re-read your post - duplicolor? I'm guessing this is for paint adhesion, and is not what you want... as a matter of fact, I'd probably scuff / sand the backside mounting area of the louver prior to putting the 3M stuff on now, just to have some fresh material to "bite" into. FYI I saw the order this morning, and made sure it shipped today for you, help keep your delay to a minimum. The stuff you are getting comes in that neat little aluminum bottle, and has a working life of 24 hours once opened - doubtful that the Duplicolor stuff is nearly as potent (not knocking it, it's probably good for what it is made for, just not this...)
Be sure to read the instructions with the promoter - I wrapped them in there myself today just to be sure.

If you're out, a local auto body supply shop should have what you need. You should easily find someone in the yellow pages. I'd be cautious using the same tube of adhesive that's been exposed to the air for this long. If I were in your shoes, I'd buy a new tube... one less thing to go wrong and have your bad luck striking yet again.

Just saw where my charge for the promoter (I had to call and add it last week because of this thread) just ran through on my debit. Maybe my louvers will ship today or tomorrow?! 
I've got a HUGE car show coming up (ALL Mustangs and Vettes) on the 26th and wanted to get these things on by then. I have a feeling there are going to be alot of jealous S197's (or alot of new orders for Marcello). I'll take the day off work to put them on if I have to. What's recommended cure time on these again?

Marcello, I stopped by Mustang Plus in Kansas City today and the owner flipped over these louvers installed on my GT. I am now featured in his store with some photos and all, thanks for the awesome louvers!

Well, it finally happened: I was at the Home Depot a Wednesday night and saw a black GT with the 1/4 louvers. It looked really good. Of course, I wasnt in my stang at the time so I prolly looked like just another gawker - it woulda been kinda cool to get a pic of a black GT & white V6 together with the louvers.
But still.... I'm sad that I'm no longer the only one in my part of town.
Is that wrong of me? lol

Not at all. I think it would be cool to see another car with the louvers around town, but I'll also be a little bummed when I do because then I won't be the only one here (that I know of) with them.

LOL, you guys kill me
While I do realize the individuality of it and all, you do realize that if we only sell one in each major city / area, that we won't be around to make the "next" great part? We do need to sell at least a few of these to make sure we can pay for the tools that make them, so help a brother out, spread the word!!
(All in jest, you guys have a good weekend)!!

I have been spreading the word, just haven't seen anyone else with them yet. Have no fear, based on the reactions I get, I'm sure you'll turn a profit on these.

Hello Marcello,
I am going thru shr withdrawal, when are all your new stuff and round stuff coming out. Have you all gotten the new machinery etc. Whats next on the plate? Well I also have a question, in an earlier post you said you had changed the instructions to talk about the shims etc. to make the window flush using the rubber pieces etc. I dont see anything new in your instructions on your site about a flush finish with rubber spacers etc. would you send me the updated instructions if you have them. I want to get this all right on the first go around, and i am having a hard time finding any window guy around that wants to do this, so it may be a self install this weekend etc. Thanks for your help, and cant wait on the new stuff. see ya
