Pre-painted OEM Rear Quarter Window louvers

I was looking to buy a set of Ford OEM Pre-Painted quarter window louvers. Does anyone actually sell them pre-painted?

I've never seen them pre-painted but a body shop shouldn't charge you more than a 100. to paint them

Sometimes people sell them as takeoffs. I'm looking for a black set. I like the Roush ones too, they have less slots.

I think they may be more then 100 to paint, at least by me. These guys like to rape u lol

PM Steve from PureSpeedMotorsports. He's a Roush direct dealer and can probably hook you up on some pre-painted ones from Roush.

All I did was ask the dealer what body shop they use. Drove there and told them I was referred and they painted my louvers and my license plate frame for 100.00 bucks. You would be surprised how far you can get just by talking to them in a friendly manner.

They definitely sell aftermarket louvers pre-painted, however I didn;t care for any other style than OEM.

Took 2 months, but I found a used pair for $100.

Now that people are taking 2013 deliveries, there is a good chance you will find these being sold by owners because the louvers are part of an appearance package and alot of folks want the other stuff, but not the window louvers.

Just make sure if you do buy a takeoff, that they include the special industrial velcro strips that come with it (like they use to mount EZpass tags on the windshield). These things are expensive to replace and hard to find. even if you have to buy some 3M tape to mount the these strips on the window, it's still ok.

I'm always nice! Nice guys finish last lol. We have a guy by my firehouse(volunteer) who uses our lot for cars sometimes and for his employees. You would think he'd do the right thing, nahh. A small wing, he wanted over 450, minimal prep work. Bastard lol

I was just saying that AM had a number of different pre-painted louvers and they would be a good place to look if you hasn't already. Sorry if I was unclear.

VERY I'm in Ca so body shops are a dime a dozen here so that helps to shop around.

Took a bit of digging on the web but I finally found them at Bangastang. Unfortunately they wanted $415 and thats without shipping costs. I can get them at the dealer for $200 and then take them locally for what Im guessing will be $100 and change to get them painted.
