    Well I finally got my Silverhorse louvers in I put them in myself with the help of a friend without a winshield removal tool or gutting the interior. I simply took a paint scraper blade and pushed it in between the window and the gasket the whole way around till the window could be popped out. It would have been pretty easy if i had the right gasket sealer from the beginning but its all good now cars kinda dirty. Also I got a BBK intake in her now so mods are starting

    Normally I can't stand louvers, but those are awesome. They don't stick out like the majority of them.

    Good lookin ride!

    I love the SHR louvers. Mine are on order for the '07. Great picture quality. What kind of camera? Looks like Canon to me.

    Thank you guys very much for the comments I am very happy with the way they turned out and I am pretty glad that I did them myself too. I was kind of nervous when I had both windows out, it was 2a.m. and the sealant i bought was very much the wrong stuff. Luckily one of my buddies just put a new window in the back of his truck and had the actual winshield gasket sealant.

    The camera that I used for the pics is a Sony Cybershot DSC V-3. Its touch and go with pic quality they come out blurry very often but thats probably operator error not the camera I am no photographer.

    I think all we are going to do to the outside still is probably some louvers on the back window and I am gonna put just some 35% tint on the front sides and black out the tails and marker lights. Then will start on the good stuff :D

    I love those louvers from the first time I saw them. Unfortunately, they were on a show car and not in production for 1+ years (or so I think). Now that they're out I've got to get a set!

    I reviewed the installation instructions and it looked a little hairball, but if you were able to just break the window seal, remove the glass, and reseal these bad boys back in place, there's hope for me.

    Nice ride.

    That looks awesome :nice: . The only 2 things that need to be done on the 05+ to make them look perfect in my opinion are the SH louvers and a cnc duckbill spoiler. Makes me want on S197 evertime I see one with those mods. Oh well, my car should be back from the shop tomorrow with gears installed, that should hold me over for a while :D

    Those are the only louvers I like. The rest stick way out and look tacky and just an add-on. Those look factory. Very sweet!

    Thanks guys for the comments I love the way it looks with them too, just want to get the rear window louvers now but I think I might wait and let the powerstroke steal some mod money for a bit. I am planning on getting a tuner but I havent yet. I have noticed any signs of it running lean at all but know I am not seeing the full benefit of the intake yet. Over winter It'll probably get a tune, long tubes, x-pipe and some kinda axle back either magnaflo like poop dawgs or slp's
