Hey folks

Got my louvers in the mail the other day and just now tonight finally had a chance to snap a few pics:

You can see how they look a tad goofy from the back, but overall I'm happy with the look.

Lookin' good Kim!!! I'm looking for louvers but I'm a little hesitant about it because of losing the view. Can you still see out of them to some extent?? Maybe I'll stop by and see 'em in person.

Thanks Kevin

That was the first thing my father bugged me about too -- he was worried about the louvers exacerbating the blind spot. Honestly I don't ever look out those windows... I use my rearview mirror and the two side mirrors, and when I need to glance at the next lane I can see well enough out of the back half of the front window.

Louvres look nice - I prefer the Gen 2's - but I have to say, the paint job just looks fantastic! You've done a great job making her shine. Just beautiful. Your pictures really show off what a gorgeous color the Redfire Metallic is. Did you use Zaino?

I see you have NY tags. Where are you on LI? I'm in Brooklyn with a Redfire GT, that just got its windowshield kicked in... (getting replaced tomorrow) http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=27800

Thanks for the kind words. Believe it or not I "only" use Megiuar's NXT... wax it with one coat once every 2-3 months, wash it about once a month and then use a combination of the California car duster and whatever quick touch up spray is on sale to keep it shiny. I end up sitting around a lot at work some days waiting for customers, so I usually pull up in front of my store and rub down my pony when business is slow.

I'm based out of the Northport/Commack area but am out in Oceanside for work 4 days a week. In regards to your windshield...jeez! If anyone so much as tapped my car I think I'd telepathically feel it and come charging outside ready to open up a can of whoop hiney. Thankfully the local kids know and respect me... if anyone touched my baby they'd have half of Long Island after them.

Nice. The paint job is great. I choose the Gen 2's for the more squared look, but those look great on your ride.

I have no problems still using those windows, the slits are great, but I always look behind me before switching lanes anyway....nicely done!
