Basically you just don't have to worry finding out about where to get them painted. That, and the price is already including, usually ending up in a better deal only because I'm not very savvy at car stuff.

Although, if you were to paint it yourself, it would be better to go with non painted ones I would imagine.

what I meant about painted vs prepainted was the cost.....I know it depends on the shop but is it generally cheaper to buy prepainted?

I got the wheelskin ones as well...you can't beat $179 for painted louvers, even if you buy them unpainted and have someone else paint them.

I like the wheelskin better than the roush. They seem to look more retro, and fit the window better. That, and the price tag.

Does anyone know of a place where I can buy the '65 style Cervini louvers pre-painted? I really don't know anyone in the area and the Ford dealership here sucks with customer service. Any help would be appreciated.
