I honestly think the Roush louvers are the worst on the market. Those three rivet holes look terrible.

It makes sense if they are indeed made by CDC. After all, the rear panel insert and the chin spoiler are from them as well.

It's somewhat shameful that Ford Racing doesn't actually make most of these parts themselves (ie-the aforementioned products, exhaust kits, shifters). They just stick their name on it and raise the price.

I saw those in the 2007 Ford Racing book at the dealer.
I like the way they look but want to see them in person before I can give final comments.
Maybe they will be at the autoshow I'm going to today.

I like the three screws so you can remove the louvers for cleaning. I would hate to remove the louvers and have to retape everytime you clean the glass.

+1 for sure. To each, their own.

To each their own is quite true indeed. Of course I personally think the CDC louvers look better than the Roush's. And I also tend to agree with Brad that those three holes really look out of place. It couldn't have been that difficult for Roush to include three simple little caps to cover those awful looking holes...

And I like mine the best because you can see out of them and you don't have to remove anything to clean them

And yes, they are rebadged CDC pieces... too bad FRPP doesn't really know us too well... yet.

I've got to wait and see the SHR on a black car. Hopefully someone has already offered up their black car.
