Visus makes them for MRT and most everyone. The shipping was $90.00.

schweeeet! $90 isnt bad. Visus told me the one piece was like $150 shipping.

Are ya gonna leave 'em black or are ya gonna paint 'em? What about the quarter windows?

Can ya take a pic where we can see the profile of the chin spoiler and the louvers both?

Are these one or two piece? Are you happy with this seller? These are metal, correct?
Thanks.

I noticed the top slat is a little higher than the roof line, that must make a lot of noise (whistling) while driving. What kind of louvers did you get? and is it alum or abs? MRT's price I thought was awfully steep and $90 to ship is high too.
I found a site that is selling the alum (Astra Hammond) for $250 and $48 shipping but not sure I want it, if it sticks up over the roof as yours does.

here is the site:

These are black powder coated and made of aluminm. I'm going to keep them this color. They are the one piece unit like they had on the SEMA car. They do not make noise at higher speeds. I'm am in Albany one a week but not with this car. They are a quality unit. Just be careful when installing the top hinge piece to your glass. Must be in the exact spot cause once you stick it to the glass in really fuses to the glass. You could get it off with a putty knife and a half hour of time but it can't then be reused.

What do I think? THAT is one nice looking car - well done mate. I mean seriously, wow. The white letter tires, the louvers, the blackout panel between the tail lights all come together and look great
