I think I am just going to leave the spoiler the Windveil blue. I am looking at getting a set of aluminum rear window louvers, and I think it would be too much black in the back.

What I would like to see in a photochop, is flat black SHR louvers, and how that would look. Marcello from SHR posed that idea to me today. I would be ver interested in seeing how it looks.

I am painting up a set of the Saleen window deletes today with one being in flat black and the other in a semi gloss finish. I will see what looks good.

I am partial to the SHR Louvers for obvious reasons. Let me see if I can Photoshop you one in black on your car.

07 Stang,

Thank you very much for the picture. I think it looks great. I just have to figure out how to get them repainted without screwing them up.

Not too sure how easy it will be to scuff the clearcoat on them, so that they can be resprayed.

I would take it to a body shop and let them repaint it. Mine were black with clear coat when I bought them off of eBay for $40.00 so I took them to a body shop and they repainted them Vista Blue for me.
Since they wouldn't be using paint with medal flakes in it, I don't see that it should cost that much to have done.

If wish I could find another set for that price, I would get them and leave the windveil blue ones alone.

Thanks! After seeing that, I agree with all the nay sayers out there. I will jus stick with the Windveil Blue spoiler.

I came across some picture of a guy that did a two tone SHR louver. His painter first painted the louver all flat black, and then he painted the exterior parts the same as the body color. The only downside this guys states, is that there is no clear louver sections anymore, as they have all been painted over. I guess it would be the same as a window louver cover.

I think it would be cool looking, as you would get that two-tome look, but yet the louver would flow with the body color.
