    (In the not too distant furture): get new ABS louvres, paint opinions wanted...

    The plan, (after the 64 1/2 Mustang gets painted, then sold, OR if I get a good price on my Model RR collection):

    1) get (ABS, aftermarket) louvres, (don't have the originals)
    2) get them painted the same as the car, (having the silver skunk stripes, etc., on the louvres too).

    -OR-

    saw (briefly/from a distance) a Mini-Cooper which had its stripes reversed on the body verses the roof. Considering doing that with the louvre paint job, reverse them!

    Any thoughts?

    Someone should have an original set for sale. Send an email to the sdac list.

    Thanks for the tip! the downside to the originals is (according to Derek, the previous owner of mine, as well as other owners), the metal ones make a lot of noise, (rattling). But, if the price is right..... ;^)

    Even so, I'd want to get THEM painted as mentioned above!

    I don't think the reverse paint would look good.

    Only time mine make noise is when I close the hatch. Other than that, I don't notice any difference with having them.

    Same here. I just can't imagine that looking good.
