im gonna buy some rear window louvers like the ones that are on the 05 roush gt, and im gonna buy a hood scoop because i think the 05 gt's hood just looks kind of bland and boring, but with these add-on accessories i will have to paint them to make them match my car. any suggestions on where to get the paint that matches the 05 redfire color. they have it at advance auto or places like that, or do i have to go the ford dealership and get some? thank you

You can get it fitted and painted in any reputable body shop. All the shop needs is your make, model, and year. In fact, all the info they need (for any car) is inside the door jamb on one of the factory labels.

Good luck, and don't forget to post some pics when it's done!

actually all you need is the paint code.... it will either be in the door jam or in the glove box... PLEASE DONT TRY TO PAINT THESE YOURSELF WITH A SPRAY CAN... you will need to spend a little extra money and do what brchan says... take it to the body shop... there is alot of prep work that will need to be done to plastic or fiberglass peices before they are painted... like using an oil and gease remover from glasurit called 541-5... then baked in a paint booth, and repeat... to get out all of the excess oils in the material so they wont seep through after you paint it... and fry up... you know, kinda like what happens to paint when you put aircraft stripper on it...

Dude, seriously. If all you wanted was a car that looked like a Roush, get a 6 and put dualies and your mods on it. You bought a GT for speed. All windows louvers are going to do are increase drag. If your hood scoop isnt functional, increased drag once again. The car looks fine as it is. Mods should be made for performance in nine cases out of ten, so unless you want these things to make your car faster, trade the GT in for a 6 and go from there. Im not trying to be rude, just honest.
