I want to buy a hood scoop and louvers and wondered if i should order them already painted or order them plain and take them to a body shop and have them painted there

 

id go the pre-painted route since it will probably be cheaper and the paint will match up exact. they paint a lot of parts at once so the cost for paint isn't as high as a body shop will charge you to paint 1 or 2 parts

 

+1 on the prepainted.
I've been looking at louvers and have checked a lot of prices and checked prices at a couple of body shops. Prepainted seems to be the cheaper option.

 

A bonus to pre-painted is you'll get them on faster - only have to wait for shipping, not shipping and body shop time.

 

Go prepainted.No extra wait time.I have had good luck with my prepainted parts

 

My quarter window louvers and side scoops were prepainted and a perfect match. My rear window louvers were painted by a body shop and are also a perfect match. But the prepainted items are cheaper as stated above.

 

what would be a good site to get scoops and louvers from
I did want the roush scoop and louver now im not sure if i want the roush scoop or just the stock scoop

 

I got my hood scoop and louvers from rpidesigns.com

 

I got my hood scoop pre-painted from Roush and it matched perfectly...

 

Prepainted if Roush does it.
Robot painting for a consistant finish.
They paint one color and paint that color all day.
Then swap to another color and paint another sheitload
of Roush parts that color.
Bodyshops have to mix a little paint for the little hoodscoop
job and thats when its hard to match.
Its like matching 6 gallons of custom mixed paint.
You gots to mix em together in a 5 gallon pail to
blend them so there are no slight differences in color
when you get back to where you started from...
