Glad you got them. Can you do me a favor and take a close-up shot of where the louvers are mounted along the bottom? Since MRT does not include a template I see that almost all installs are in a different location. I think mine are a little high so I am trying to compare install locations before I remove mine and reinstall them again.

Sure, I brought the camera to work. Will go out and take a pic. Time for a break anyway

So, you just want the bottom, from the outside? I will take a few.

Thanks Robyn, that is exactly what I wanted to see. Your louvers are mounted slightly lower than mine. Keep an eye at the back corners because both of mine have lifted slightly. Not much, just a bit. When yours were installed did they use the metal bracket?

I am not a real big fan of the side window louvers, but those just might change my mind. Looks great!

Robyn... those look awesome. I think I'm switching from SSE gen. 2 to MRT louvers... when I do get them, that is. Your car looks great!

Wow the MRT Louvers look Great. I ordered a pair last week since my car is in the shop and will need paint for both the front and back end, I got rear ended last week and figured they could paint everything at the same time. What type of finish did they do for you on the inside?

Thanks everyone. The insides are painted a flat dark charcoal to match the interior. I had just hosed off the car so that's why the water drops in the pic. I like them alot, glad I waited!

OMG, they look sick on the white...

I've been putting off getting mine painted b/c it's a pain to find a reliable shop and get my ride there, and then leave it there, and pick it back up again. But I'm going on a 10-day long driving vacation and NEED to have these on before I leave, so I'm on it today. Thanks for the inspiration.

Jack, you don't need to leave your car there. Just drop off the louvers and have them paint them. Then when they are ready pick them up. If you want them to install it, they should be able to do that within 30 minutes.

It's usually a good idea to leave the car there as they can do better paint matching that way, esp. with difficult metallic paints. Plus, I'm also probalby going to get my mirrors done at the same time, and maybe some touch-up in a few places I've put a few chips & scratches in the bumpers if it doesn't run me an arm and a leg. I garage my car all week anyway, so whether its there or in a shop is really no difference to me.

Good point. Since I was getting the body kit done at the same car there was no option but to leave mine there and they matched the paint perfectly.

How much your visibility has been cut? I'm thinking about getting MRT louvers. I just want some input based on personal experiences of MRT louver owners. Is it a big pain or is very easy to get us to? Etc.

Thanks for providing a picture from the inside.

I don't mind the view at all. Drivers side is tricky, but was a pain before anyway. Passenger side, I can still tell if someone is sneaking up in my blind spot.
