Question Painting wiper cowl?

I am considering painting my wiper cowl to match my truck. Has anyone done this? If so, can you please post a picture.

for 109.00 you can get street sceens new smooth cowl.
first one I've seen that I want..
check it out before starting your gruling project..

P.S hope your sanding it your self cause a body shop will charge a ton to do it right..

dogleg,

Thanks for the pictures. Awesome!! That is the Street Scene cowl, correct? How hard was it to install? I would guess you would remove the original window cowl. How about the removing the wipers to install, difficult to do? Did you remove the rear window trim and have it painted or did you install a different one?

I had a painter do the work. The rear trim was removed, sanded then painted.

Good luck with your truck,
Alvin

dogleg, i can't find it here at the store - am i dumb?

also, does the cowl impede the purpose of the vents under it? i would think it might, but is it a big deal?

thanks

Sorry guys,
It seem you are correct, I just emailed Roger so you should be hearing something from him by tomorrow. I will look up the address of where I got mine and post it if Roger lets you down. Sorry for taking so long to reply but I have been busy. I will stay up with this until you get help! I would post now but would rather support Roger if he has it.

Got a reply from Roger, he stopped selling them because the shipping went from $30 to $100 because they were oversized.

When I get home I will post the address of where I got mine. Maybe they are doing better with the shipping.
