Default LOUVERS! :D

Welp got my louvers on my girl! I think it gives it a retro look that I didn't expect.

Very Nice mod! It might be the angle of the picture but the look like they might be on the wrong sides

Wrong sides?
I'm not sure what you mean.. My Fiance did put them on so he may have put them on wrong... Lol he is Mustang illiterate. And sorry about the quality of the picture its just off my phone.

Wrong sides... LOL funny!!!

Don't worry, Tanner, they only *really* go on one way. Though, I agree that the front edge looks like it's leaning forward instead of backwards (parallel with the door edge)... so I suppose it's possible. Boy...

EDIT: On closer inspection, I think ReaperGT is absolutely right. Take a look at the comparison picture I made below. The good news is that if your fiance was able to put them on wrong, then he is perfectly capable of taking them off and putting them back on right. Give him a break, he will be embarrassed enough as it is. No need to have a quarrel over it. Unless, of course he did it on purpose so you two could fight about it... then GET TO MAKE UP!!!!! LOL

That's what I thought... Lol yeah he didn't really line them up with the door right, but gotta give the guy props for trying.

Oh well they will work for now eventually I will probably straighten them up. I didn't know he had put them on until I left for work this morning. Its not that surprising when you consider what he drives... :P *His SS Cobalt in the back*

@Tanner05, I editing my post above with comparison pics that you can show him when it's time to fix them. And you are right, it's no biggie... get around to it when you get around to it. Only a sharp-eyed "Mustang Person" would notice for now.

Nice Mod by the way!!!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to show me that. Yeah I knew they looked a little off. I might fix them this weekend, because the sharp eyed Mustang person is the one we want to impress! Lol

Haha him embarrassed?? Now way! Him putting them on a little crooked to irritate me? Completely possible. We are always on each others case about the others car. Mine is much pretter... but his blows me away in a race!

No Problem... but the credit goes to ReaperGT, he had the sharp eye. I'm a dork who didn't notice at first. :P

It'll be a piece of cake to fix. No worries. Enjoy your new louvers!!!

Getting them off is a bitch. And then you have to remove the old 3M tape from the louvers and install new 3M tape (properly). AND, if the surfaces (both on the louver for the new tape and on the windows) aren't prepped just right, then they'll be coming loose in short order. Just be sure that SOMEBODY knows what they're doing.
