Roush Louver

Hey what do you guys think? Pretty cool louver don't you think?



Okay I've added a rear picture. May not be the greatest, may need some sunshine. And no you can't see the top of the roof through them. You have a clear view through the rear-view mirror though. No blind spots.

Sure I'll get a rear shot and post it. Just as soon as I have more light. I really like the Roush louvers far better than the MRT'S. I like the 1/4 louvers. I'vwe been thinking about getting them. Is there a blind spot and how well do they seal?

blind spot? I'd say very little difference than the windows- BUT the view is slightly wavy(very slight) as they are plastic, not glass...sealing not an issue if you install them correctly- I didnt...painted myself- hundred bucks in materials, hours of masking, got dust in the clearcoat, DID NOT use recommended adhesion promoter, and a few months later they came loose...while out for reinstalling PROPERLY, I thought I'd wetsand the dust out- and quickly ruined the paint- so rather than go thru all the grief again, I bit the bullet, wrote the first set off, reordered another set in prepaint from SHR...300 bucks might seem a little steep to some for a couple pieces of plastic, but check out a set 'in real life', its hard not to think they came that way...not stuck on over the glass, perfect fit...I doubt you could change the look of the car in a better way for 300 bucks(just go with the prepaint- actually its a bargain in my opinion...just DONT skip the adhesion promoter!).

lot of folks dont like the rear slats, by my acapulco blue 69 has them, and I love them on a fastback...but mrt to me didnt look right from behind as like I mentioned you can see the roof under the top slat...I think theres a REAL good chance there might be a set of these Roush's in my future
