A spray can of Ford glossy black.... $3.99. Masking tape 99¢. Mask off window and apply spray paint.

Cheaper and more effective than a piece of signage plasti-board.

Unemployed .... priority should go to job searching.

And this not a louvre. It's a quarter window delete.

My company is need of a story teller with an innovative spin.... Seems right up Rios's alley.

Just saying. Anyhoooo I hope he finds works. Unemployment sucks.

Seriously? Why not just buy gloss black vinyl or Carbon fiber looking Vinyl...

BTW.... is your car paid off? Just curious about how quick the repo happens on the West Coast? Being unemployed sucks.... especially if you still hold a car note.

I have my own business and that covers pretty much all my expenses, I left my previous job because it's time to take on a career now, you know buying a house, getting marry and such lol

So often if we're not dropping $1500 on wheels, $1000 on exhaust, $5000 on boost, $1200 on cams, or something else it's somehow not cool.

The point was to make it different. Not like everyone else. He did that and for DIY he did pretty good. Thumbs up from me.

My point exactly, sometimes doing things on your own is more rewarding. I end up doing the project all over but took the window covers to a friend who did a great job painting them. Now I have some of my friends who have mustangs asking my to do some for them.
