here are three pictures of unpainted louvers I bought from street scenes(gen.1)
they are not installed I just layed them on the side of the window so the fitting isnt perfect..

 

Just a thought but you could probably get away with leaving them unpainted just as they are. On your white car with black stripes it seems to work.

 

So having them in person , do you like them?
I have been waiting for the MRT louvers basiclly cause I like the squared off look , and the fact they are removable, but those look really good too!

 

Thanks Drew, I am considering it....

Rene' I am very pleased with them, I cant wait to install them, they fit so good its amazing. What I like most about them is that they are not solid. So a little of visibilty and light is still present.

 

I really like the leaveing them black idea. Although I would still have them painted black not just left the way they are so you can get a clear coat and it will match your stripes.

 

Go BLACK KEv! I think they look great!!

(I'm close to pulling the trigger on the Gen 2s...)

 

Thanks Dave!! I ordered some paint for these through expresspaint.com
I will consult my "co-pilots" on what they think I should do as well.

 

You gonna paint them yourself? I JUST discovered Expresspaint not 20 minutes ago too and it sparked some ideas I have been having....hmmm..........

 

yep I ordered the primer, H/P white aersol, and the clear coat... I hope to receive them this week sometime!!
(I got quoted $289 for painting them at a shop in royal palm)

 

here are pictures of the louvers painted and installed!!

 

here are pictures from the inside looking out.. view is not obstructed!!!

:worship: Man those are Awesume Kevin! What brand are those? Who designed those? Thats the best looking accessory you can put on a 05 Mustang! What Brilliance! ( LOL) Nice work- great photos-

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

Mike they are made by Street Scenes, they are the first generation.


*I am a doofus :bang: , Mike you are a sneaky sly one!!! :bang: *

 

Very glad you provided a shot from inside the car to see the visibility out of them. Do you have a shot from the drivers seat looking back like maybe a real driving situation where you are checking blind spots? That is my issue with most of the louvers out there, is the blind spot they create. Not like these cars have great visibility out of them in the first place.
Am curious though, did you consider painting the back side of them and just not do it, or did you leave them black on purpose? Not sure which I would do...

Also noticed the stang emblem on the rear panels. Where did ya get those?

 

no I didnt consider painting the inside of them..dont know why just never thought about it..

 

From my experence, its best to leave them black or paint them flat black on the inside- less glare.

 

Man, those look good, especially from the inside. Not much of a blindspot at all. The view from the driver's seat looking back would be even less obstructed because you are looking at even more of an angle parallel with the louvers. I'm probably going to get the generation 2 louvers, but I like those too. And glad you painted them white... that would have been my vote.

Thanks for the link to expresspaint too. I added it to my favorites and will be ordering from them whenever I do get my louvers.
