Guess what? They do! SilverhorseRacing does in deed offer them in Factory colors. As a matter of fact, it's the best way to go. Put's it all on them, No worries finding the "right" shop to do the work, let alone the prep work. And every single one is hand inspected before they leave SHR.
Come on, pull the trigger, and Join the Club. Best mod I've done for looks.

FLAstangx3 is correct. These were a B'day gift (March) from the gf and 'rents. They bought them prepainted and the match is spot on!

Nice install job. Looks great! Yes, they're available pre-painted, and that's they should be bought, IMO. They're way too difficult of a piece for someone to try and do just once unless they've got some genuine skills or really have the time to take and do it right. Most local 'production style' bodyshops, etc don't have the combination of talent and time from my experience.

hmmmm, this just might find its way to my list of future mods
I wonder how a set of these painted black would look on my silver mustang? I have to give this a little more thought after the LT install.

No, thank you!
Looks awesome - glad the color match work was good for you - that normally our painters do real well with.
Now if we could just get one of our painters back on his feet - took a dive off of a second floor loft, 3 broken ribs on the backside, he's not a very happy camper at the moment... and I expect he's going to be out of comission for at least a couple more weeks.
On a positive note, our second painter is picking up most of the slack, so we're not dead in the water, just not getting ahead as quickly as we had hoped now that we have the room to store more of them finished to lower our delivery times on painted sets.

I just got mine from fedex today, quality of the product and the paint job are both outstanding.
How tall of a beed did you use of the sealer?
I hope to get mine done this weekend before I leave for vaction, if not will be a few weeks before I can do them.

Side question:
I live in AZ--Has SHR ever done any extreme use testing as far as heat resistance for these louvers? I dig the look, but I'm worried the attaching adhesive might fail in our 120* summers
Comments?

I hope you water tested it before you put your interior back in.
Mine was done and I washed the car and the interior was all wet.
I bought the SHR solvent and tube crap and both windows leaked. Soooo I had
to take the interior back out and I got the glass place put it in and no leaks.

The Urethane was a PIA to work with, so I bought a Craftsman 19.2V caulker and it made the sealing job EASY as can be...

The urethane / promoter is the same stuff used by Ford, GM, etc, by the same supplier, so that's a non-issue there.

Customers in AZ have them, and we're in FL where it reaches 95 in the shade at 100% humidity - in the sun vehicle temperature (which is the real issue with this piece) can easily exeed 140 F in the daytime, no problems there. The resin is stable to around 515 F before it really starts to go into a melt phase, so I think you're safe from that - although if it gets that hot out there, I'd suggest checking to make sure we're not in a nuclear war

Cool, thanks for the info. Might pick a set of these up later this year, I dig the look.
