Not too hard to install.... Just remember, you get one chance and one chance only when dealing with the adhesives placed on the window...

Do louvres impede rear visibility when you're inside the car?

Nope, virtually nothing in the way, makes a huge difference on how much cooler the car is....

I think he means rear/quarter louvers and side scoops. I like it, considering the rear louvers for mine.

I like the contrasting look - it's my homage to the 69-70's Mach 1 and Boss cars of my youth.

I think if the 1/4 window louvers were black, THEN it would be the hotness. Looks good still tho.

I had the rear window louvers on my 2005, and loved them. THEN one day the car needed to be towed. For whatever reason they loaded the car backwards on the truck. Ultimately when the wind got under the louvers it snapped the little plastic hooks. Also mildly bent up the louvers and scratched the roof. Louvers never fit quite right after that. They were rattly (no way that's a word and yet spell check ok'd it.)

That said, they look AWESOME on your car and I'm sure will drop temp a couple of degrees on hot days. Enjoy

MRT is the brand. Good quality, cost about $510.00 W/shipping.

I was just making a Mister T/ MR. T/ MRT joke...

But thanks... yeah, they look like quality pieces. If I ever go that route, these are the ones I would pick.

Looks great as is.

I've got them on my Saleen and love them. I had a similar issue with wind in a touchless car wash, although the only damage was one clip and one attachment post. They have since redesigned the clips for added strength and I made the posts out of aluminum.

I bought them while I was in Houston for the temp difference, and it was very noticeable.

Those do look awesome but are surely gonna screw up the flow to the rear spoiler so it wil be just for aestetics, drag will inrease too.
