Default SHR louvers

so i took a nice day to install the Silverhorse racing louvers what i can say is that the instructions that came with the louvers were spot on the only thing that i had a problew with was the adhesive now some people have went about installing these louvers
3 ways

1.follow shr instructions and disasemble the interior

2. leave interior intact and go from there

3. break out quarter windows

i would reccomend taking your time and go with option 1 after doing one side doing the other side was a piece of cake
thats not to say that it was all fun but they ended up looking really nice really the hardest part for me was gathering the nerve to mess with the interior and then puncturing the seal on the glass
the tools

its probobly a good idea to have some type or rag around for the adhesive in case an extra squirt comes out
front
side
back
all in all the install took about 5 hours with a lunchbreak of course

They look great.....

And I agree with you 100 percent. Tearing out the interior is not that big a deal. All of four bolts, two defroster connections, and a bunch of push pins.....Your time is right in line with what it took me to do Karens Bullitt a couple of weeks ago.....

Grats, it looks awesome....
