get some super high temp resistant black paint and cover it back up... Or better yet, neon purple!!!

Actually yes I am going to get some work done to my front clip and have them spray the louvers at the same time body color.

I have worked at a carwash for 2 years, and it has had many evos come through without any problems. The crap about wings getting ripped off are bogus, and antennas don't need to come off either. If some type of damage does occur to a stock piece, then the carwash should replace it for free.

Just my 2 cents.

I only noticed missing paint from my louvers (possiblly) after going through a touchfree carwash. I cant confrim or deny what caused the louver paint to come off, but I do know it looks terrible and I will be sanding/repainting it soon. Ive already got some 500deg flat black paint from autozone, im just wondering if thier 1200deg would have been better or maybe one other thier colored ones... A blue they had that looked close to matching my BBY was called "Ford Blue" so i thought otherwise. If anyone else runs into this, keep posting!
