Just my opinion, but PACETTR's look a gajillion times better. The others look too large and make a drastic change in the profile of the mustang and make it look like it is half stegosaurus.

Being a pilot (retired) I'm thinking that louvers will disturb the airflow over the roof and create a low pressure area ahead of the rear spoiler that will create lift, negating downforce from the spoiler. Think I'd rather keep my rear wheels firmly planted and tint the rear glass, IMO.

louvers
Nope, I will snap a few shots tomorrow. You stick down the top brackets, bolt the louvers to it, stick the bottom brackets and they attach with a clip that swings to lock in place. The bottom bracket has a sort of stud that goes through a hole in the bottom side of the louver. The pics will show it better tomorrow.

Not to mention the fact that the louvers creating a low pressure area is a huge assumption. More likely to reduce a small amount of airflow directly impacting the spoiler or causing slightly more turbulent air over the spoiler if anything.
Much like the "scoops cause drag" argument, the speeds, even track speeds, you'll be driving will not be enough to make a huge difference with louvers or scoops.

I apologize up front for "Dredging up" old treads, but I just got interested in finishing this project of mine up with some Louvers.
Scott, thanks a ton for running this, even though the thread was a bit old.
To all, is MRT direct the best bet to purchase these guys? At $480.00, it is going to put quite a dent in the 'ole wallet. I wrote to them in regards to a Military discount, but no reply. Any help would be appreciated.
