Does that mean you can't pull them and re-use them? Sorry 05GT-O.C.D., but that is what I love about this forum; reading what happens to the "testers" on here.

I am still waiting for mine. I can't wait.

No, they can be re-used if removed carefully, I know personally of two sets locally that have been in and out at least twice, maybe more

That said, 05GTCD is probably looking for improved paint work, us perfectionists are all alike...

As to the wait for paint, I was at the new paint shop today (yes we work weekends too), the painter is still playing with pre-production samples to see what works best, so he's not thinking he will start production work until Wed-Thursday - but the work I've seen him do to this point is really promising. He is a "custom" bike painter, and so he's a bit of a perfectionist, which is exactly what we've been looking for from the beginning.

More as it is available.

I live in Hawaii and my husband is in Iraq...my first est. was 280 per window...so I decided to do it myself...the only problem I had was squeezing the adhesive out...so I finally took the nozzle off...looks great

Just an update (and Pegasus, I have to add yours because it is so cool) - our website is updated with a bunch of customer photos, they are in the "customer car" section of the main site, and I think we've got just about every color represented. I think we need a sonic photo, and then it will be on to 2008 colors

SHR customer service ROCKS!

I e-mailed SHR on the status of my louvres, and I got a response from marcello in 20 minutes. Awesome customer service, others should be taking lessons.

This will be a mod I plan to do to my Mustang in the future. Unfortunately I don't trust myself to do the install so I will have to find someone competent enough to do it for me. Anyone have any suggestions for people in the Lexington/Columbia SC area.

I had my Ford dealer do it. Anyone you trust, or friend/family members trust to do collision work. It's not much different than installing a replacement window, so anyone who deals in collision repair will be able to do it easily.
