Just to put them close in proximity

I waited for the MRT's because I like the looks of them the best. As for installation, right now there is a metal bracket that gets mounted to the glass to assist in keeping the louvers in place. They are working on the removable hardware and will ship that out to the customers once they have it. Personally, I really don't need mine to be removable.

The MRTs look great - very clean. I like the square shape soooo much better than the rounded look of most the other louvres, especially the 3d carbon and SSE ones, and especially the generation 1 louvres in each case.
However, I have come to like the Roush louvres a lot, as well. Now the decision looks really tough.......
I don't know Jack, the shape is right but like you said, those screws just don't cut it.
I'll (or Adrenalin will no doubt soon) post some more profile pics. I agree they look a touch bigger on LL than the Black MRT Stang that they were intro'd on. John's will probably blend a bit better with his SB paint.
Talk soon, Mark.

Doesn't look like I will be posting mine to soon. Bodyshop says that there is no way my car will be ready before Friday :bang: This is started to drive me nuts. I don't think I will be able to get my car ready for the Saturday car show now. grrrrrrrr
However, when mine is back, I will restripe it and take some pics for you guys.
Mark, what colour did you have the insides of yours painted, LL or black? Mine are being painted Satin black.

Mark & Jack - you both have incredible looking cars - nice work
However I'm torn between the Roush and MRT. I like the overall shape of them both, but those 3 holes in the Roush ruin it. Does anyone know if it would be feasible to get the Roush louvers and have those holes filled and painted? Regardless of which set I go with, I'm considering painting them a dark charcoal with lots of metal flake.

I'm sure you could get the holes filled and then sanded. The only thing I don't know is what they would look like mounted with tape. For example, the MRT's have a lip that the tape goes into so when you stick them on the louvers are flush with the body. Not sure if the roush ones have something like that. If they don't then when you stick them on they would not sit flush with the body.

Can't wait to see more MRTs.
BTW - for those of you who ordered them and have received them already - did you order on MRT's website? over the phone? Did you pre-order?
Thanks!

Original Sin, any chance you could take a pic or two from the driver's perspective trying to look out that window? Like what you would see if you were checking traffic before you make a lane change. I've just wondered how bad they hinder your vision of traffic. I hate relying on just mirrors to see if anyone's there.

Ok, so I ordered a pair. I'm sold. I really like 'em. Glad I held off on the Roushs, even though I think those are nice, too.
MRT said they have some extras in stock (they've been shipping out pre-orders), so you can order them now and they'll ship - no backorder.
FYI, I also asked about the interceptor hood scoop - the price is not listed on the website. It is non-functional and costs $225, but is backordered.
MRT's website also says that a functional ram air hood is coming soon. I talked to the guy about this a bit. He said that it was in development, along with a bunch of other stuff. Judging based on the progress of the MRT louvres, I'll be ready to pick up my hood sometime in late 2008, early 2009.
Seriously, it is nice to see that another company is developing a good like this to compete with the RK Sport Ram Air hood (the one w/ scoop, not the california dream one), since the RK Sport has had some problems. I don't know if I can wait for MRT on this, though...
Anyway, of course, I'll post the MRT louvres once completed. Going on a redfire. Maybe I'll be the first red adoptor.
Oh, also, btw - the guy said that once the swingable bracket was ready, they would automatically ship out to purchasers. For now, the MRT sticks onto the window 2 ways - with 3M tape around the perimeter, and then bolted into a bracket which is, itself, stuck on the window with tape, although he said it was more like a stick-em pad, and said once it goes on, it's very tough to remove (I'm thinkign that sort-of soft foam-like sticky stuff you find on wall hooks and such).
Excited!
