The best of any of the louver options on the market.

Yes, it has a 30% grey tint.

Yes, if you are up close you can look in, but from any distance it appears as if they are blacked out due to the angles and reflections created.

Oh, and word is they caught the guy who started our fires that consumed 10% of the land in the city... some neighbors are at the hospital, they would like to say hello to him prior to him leaving for jail...

Sounds like he might not be leaving the hospital for a while.

I have a set of these on order, question how thick of a beed do you need to put down of the sealer when installing?

Has the fires slowed down getting these painted?


Thanks

Depends on how flush you want them - it's more a question how tall, than how thick. Thick, 1/4" max.

Fires didn't change that much, but one of our two painters falling off a loft and breaking three ribs last week sure didn't help... but we're still running right around 5 weeks or so, all of March's orders with one exception are gone, majority of April's are already out, so we're catching up to everyone now with our added employees here.

I am wanting it pretty flush with the body.

Thanks for the update, looking foward to getting these.

Here's bringing one up from the past...

For everyone who has liked the look of our louvers, thank you. We'd like everyone to know that in addition to all of our customers that thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread, there is an OEM that now thinks the same thing.

Keep an eye out for the last special edition version of the S197 (first gen) being released from Ford at the end of this year. I think everyone who has the had faith in our products is about to see that now that we are an official supplier to Ford, your faith in our quality and design was very well founded!!

This will be on the rarest production Mustang of this model run, so there will not be a lot of dilution of the look on everyone's cars - on the contrary, it will most likely elevate the look of everyone's cars that have them to a new level!

A special thanks goes out to our customer (I'm sorry I can't remember who right now) who had the louvers on their car at Woodward last year soon after they were released. It gave Ford their first close-up look at our pieces, which led to them being on a Ford Racing show car last year, and now soon-to-be-released in production on their top of the line straight-line warrior!

Stay tuned, it's only going to get better!

Hey Marcello, I posted in the other thread and am pleased to do so here. A HUGE CONGRATS BUDDY!!!

Now, you gotta "spill the beans" a little more on this SE, buddy. You give us a piece of cake, but we want a second slice, lol. Can you tell us anything else? PLEASE?!!!

All of us on the pre-order list knew this was something Ford should have done from the beginning ...

All I can say right now is that you will see them before the end of this year. There was an announcement from Ford about this ultra-rare version a couple months back, and this thing is going to be a rocket ship on wheels.

Well, the cat is out of the bag, so here is the video clip...

Looks like our GT/CS Grill inserts will work with it as well

It's been in planning for almost a year...

Whenever I disappear for a while or things seem slow in coming out, always you have to wonder what I might be up to

There's only 50 of these being built though, which by my math makes this the rarest of all the S197's available from Ford directly.
