I had never done it before and tackled it myself. It's really not hard at all. Just tedious and you have to be careful and pay attention to what you're doing to ensure you don't damage your paint. That said, I've done two sets now and no paint damage on either window, either time.

Hey Marcello,
Is your method the best to do? Yours is removing the glass from the outside, and I have heard about the removing of the interior and then removing the glass.
I would say yours involves less time, but is it better?
I am going to be getting a set soon for my car.

Thanks everyone for the compliments 
As to the OP, the original thread is still here, you just need to use the search button for it - I used the term flush louver and found it (actually glad to see it is still here!) Oh, and we have the install down to about an hour on 05-09 cars, 2010+ still takes around 2.5 hours. WE just shot a video of it, once it is edited and cleaned up, we'll be posting it to our site as well. In the meantime, here's the new directions:
05-09:

The instructions now posted on our website, showing removal and installation from the exterior are the easiest way to do the job for the 2005-09 cars. The 2010 cars do need the removal because it makes the interior trimming easier, although you could technically attack it from the outside once the glass was clear. The interior removal method was the way I used to do windshields on the race cars, hence why the directions were written that way originally. Since the quarter glass is so small, you can wrap from the outside, and do a much cleaner removal without removing the interior, making for a much faster install. It also is less likely to scratch the pinch-weld, although you do have to be careful when wrapping around the top corner, to avoid the paint on the exterior of the car. We did a video of an install recently, just haven't had time to do post-editing and post it to the Internet

That video would probably help me out a lot, so that I do not have to pay some glass shop the dough to install them. Can't wait to see it.

This link will be going dead soon as it is being moved, but currently here's a bunch of customer photos, some from the inside:

Not yet, but there are 2 sets that have just shipped to separate customers in L6 so maybe we'll start seeing some soon. I did a rendering in Kona for a project with the louvers in them, but did a custom 2-tone deal on them, so they aren't representative of what they would look like for most customers.

Hmm....this sounds promising. These would look great on a 2012 Boss!

I've never seen any pictures of them in Kona Blue. I will see them in person, though, as I just ordered a pre-painted set on March 6th. Up until yesterday I had never seen them in person in any color. Then I came out to a parking lot and parked right next to my car was a 2005-09 Mustang GT with a custom hood, painted stripes and flames, and SHR FMQW louvers. They looked very nice.

Randy, they are already on the way - should be there almost *now*
We had two sets that were accidentally ordered and shipped to CJ Pony Parts a couple months ago, so they are drop-shipping from them rather than coming from here directly. Just FYI for you on them since I saw the order come through and we knew there were some there in stock. Quicker than setting up another set from scratch.
