I'm going to put quarter window louvers on my 08 GT/CS. What brands are available....I've checked out Ebay. The roush ones look real good. Does anyone know were I can get the best buy for roush louvers?
Thanx

 

here are a few to check out. The SHR's seem to be a favorite.

Yes, SHR are the way to go for an OEM looking louver.

 

Bought mine from here: http://www.discountfordaccessories.com/Default.aspx

 

got mine from wheelskin.com, come prepainted at look great (not bad in price either!)

 

Moved to the exterior mods section.

 

This is what I found, they look good and are already painted. I have not purchased them as of yet but hope to when I get some cash!

SHR's

 

In my biased opinion SHR has the best looking ones out there- they replace the glass rather than being stuck on with tape, you can still see out, they dont hang out over painted surfaces where they can rub(Ive noticed at least one car with roush louvers with little rub marks on the roof at front top corner - might have just been a bad install though)...some stick on ones(roush are removeable) you cant clean the glass very easily.

only drawbacks to SHR is, takes more like 1/2 hour-1 hour to install rather than 30 seconds(not difficult, but youll need the cutter and recommended adhesive AND PROMOTER), and they might cost a few bucks more in the end- but the way I see it 150~400 buck total range out there, as a very visual item on a 20-30000 dollar car, the cost isnt that big of a chunk overall...I really think that with a range of 1/2% to 2% of what you spent for the car, these make probably the biggest bang for the buck visually, followed by wheels/tires at closer to 5-10% of the cost of the car...

 

I have the Roush louvers, but if I were to do it again I would go with the SHR's. They werent available when I got the Roush's.

 

the SHR's get my vote

 

Have the SHR's recently gone up in price?

I just looked and they are at $334.
I thought they were about $50 less a few weeks ago.

 

Nope - we did a 10.00 price increase back on Jan 1 to cover increased production costs for the year, but other than that, we've held the line on pricing on everything, even with aluminum spiking over 1.00 / lb over the past few months to almost 3.00 / lb in raw form now...

 

I have a set of Street Scene Gen 1 louvers for sale. Painted Mineral Gray, but could easily be resprayed. Other than the SHR (which I now have) I liked these the best.

 

I'd love to switch over to the SHR inserts but who knows what my paint will look like if I remove the MRT ones I have on right now.

 

Only one way to find out SN is off at paint again after a long dry spell, so there will be 2 sets left "available" in a couple weeks that aren't currently spoken for!

We might even be lowering the "expected delivery" time soon - not that demand has slowed, but with two painters involved and another person almost full-time in post-cleanup polishing now, we're finally catching up a little bit on the pre-painted sets for everyone. We're currently about 3 weeks behind on any colors, compared to about 8 weeks just two months ago...

 

Thats good news news.

 

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I wanted to ask a question. How long did anyone wait to test their install on the SHR louvers? Marcello, I am the guy that has pestered you all week on a louver install.

SHR's level of customer service is fantastic, I have called and spoke with Marcello probably 4 times this week on on a louver install. He was patient and very helpful each time. Oh, and bye the way their products are also great. Their is only a few aftermarket companies I recommend and SHR is one of them.

 

what do you mean test - test for leaks? My shop let the adhesive dry over night and them hosed them down next morning to check for leaks before reinstalling the interior.

 

Yep, test for leaks or close the doors with the windows up.
