Although the outsides are painted Legend Lime, the insides still need to be painted flat black. I won't get them back until Tuesday. Guess I can wait...
Sorry for the poor quality of these images... I only had my cell phone with me. Still, they should give you an idea. I think they look great. The clear makes them look like a factory-installed option! :nice: Here, the body shop guy held them in place: |
Man, I really like the SS generatin 2 louvers. And your paint shop did a great job of matching a metallic paint... not very easy to do. They look great.
Edit: I really, really... did I say really?... hope that the person who gets my car puts these on it and sends me pics. This was going to be my next mod. :crying: |
Awesome louvers man. I like the Gen 2 better myself
|
Those are awesome!!! That is going to be my next mod on mine. I have been holding out on mods because I want to see how they look first and with this forum I am getting alot of ideas. :nice:
|
Those look great! :nice:
|
Those actually look better than how they look on cal-mustang.com for whatever reason. I like 'em!
|
Thanks, folks! I'm happy with the results. Can't wait to permanently affix them to Lucky's flanks. I too, adopted the wait and see approach to modifying my 'Stang. It's safer and cheaper that way...
I'll put up "real" pix next week once they're installed. :jester: |
Chris, thanks for the photos. These Gen 2 versions are the ones I like the best. I was all set to NOT add louvers, but after seeing these, I am SERIOUSLY rethinking my decision. I may be adding them once my car gets here. Thanks again, they look great. :nice:

looks good , my only gripe with it is it shows the outline of the window.. thats why i prefer the larger louvers
|
Those look great Chris. :nice:
|
WHAT is the difference between gen 1 and gen 2???

Glad you folks like the pix. Again, I only wish the "camera" did them justice. I was glad the body shop guy offered to hold them up so I could get an idea of what they looked like from afar.
Bill, the primary difference between the Gen I and Gen II louvers is the shape of the vents; the Gen I's are somewhat rounded and the Gen II's are more angular. I prefer the latter because they contrast more with the sloping roofline. I also like the louvers that cover the entire window frame, but I didn't want to lose the shape of the glass. In fact, I had my heart set on another pair before I found a link to California Mustang Parts, which featured these in their '05 Mustang section. I too, would have preferred a setup that allowed the substitution of a fixed window with a built-in set of louvers. But unless you're willing to shell out a lot of cash for a custom job, you've got to take what's available! On second thought, someone call Chip Foose and tell him he's got another "Overhaulin'" project! :jester: My primary motivation for posting these pix was to show how these louvers look when painted to match the body color. I hadn't seen anyone's Gen II louvers painted in Legend Lime, so I thought it would be good to share 'em. |
how much do body shops charge to put on the louvers?

This was going to be my next mod. :crying: I'm installing the louvers myself. Just going to follow the instructions and hope for the best. The body shop couldn't give me a guarantee that they'd stay put anyway, so what the heck? When all is said and done, I'll have paid $180 for the paint job. Well worth it. I could never have done such a great job on them! |
