excited for these!!! just ordered them two days ago from FT86SpeedFactory. Hoping to get them within a week or so. I could imagine you guys are still trying to settle everything from the move.

does anyone have a picture of these color matched to the car?

Quick review after 1 track day with the louvers:

They worked fantastic, the car was actually a lot faster on straights, and I suspect not pulling timing due to heat and intake temperatures played a part there for sure. Front grip was increased by around 0.1g (lateral) and the car went from understeering a bit, to loose mid corner, so there are aero gains for sure but I dont have any means of quantifying them other than saying the car lost understeer with no other changes in setup. I broke the class record for the track and took the win in both morning and afternoon sessions, nothing but good things about these louvers (and god they look sexy):

VeloxEric: what do you think of idea - offer prepainted to stock paint types upon inquiry (of course at extra charge and with extra wait time).

StraightOuttaCanadaEh · 05-31-2017, 02:51 PM

Has anyone here colour matched theirs and could provide a pic? Especially if it's red

We do not wish to do this at this time. There is too much room for error on paint matching perfectly (very few cars have the same tone/color/fade/etc). It is best to take this to a professional coater.

There is a customer who paint matched it silver and a few that have done the burnt orange. I can dig them up if you'd like.

Thanks,
Eric

That would be great, if it's not too much trouble!

Honestly (and I'm surprised to say this), I think the black looks better that paint-matched.

StraightOuttaCanadaEh · 06-02-2017, 12:17 PM

I think so too. But I would want them to be gloss black instead of matte.

I'd stick with the matte, personally.
