Thumbs up

I really want these but I dont want Fake ones? The louvers must be real slits in the covers.

Who has these? What options are there? Pics? Anyone? :scratch:
Thanks :worship:

Try this site, they should be available any day now. I don't know what the advantage of the one peice over the two peice is except shipping is cheaper on the two peice.

Haven't we gone down this road before Rene? MRT and street scene have the openings. I remember in another post you had that we discussed this because you ordered the 3D Carbon ones that were not slotted.

Hey Rene. A while back I posted some stuff on MRT (search for MRT & Louvers) after talking to them and their engineer. Their louvers are coming out SOON, so be patient. They're in pre-production now so hopefully by the end of the month??? They're just what we all want I think (see through, removeable, etc, etc.) Plus, they look the best. I was like a few others...ordered the 3d Carbons, then cancelled after finding out they were NOT see through and NOT removeable.

So.....like our rides.....all good things come to those who wait

Mark.

Looks like a lot of people, including myself, have already pre-ordered the MRT louvers. They hope to have them out by the end of the month

I also have my louvers pre-ordered from MRT. Has anyone thought about where they are going to get their louvers painted once received? Would an authorized Ford body shop be safest to ensure a perfect paint match; or could any reputable body shop probably do as good a job? Anyone have any idea on what to expect to pay to have a pair of 1/4 window louvers painted?

The 1/4 ones look to be pretty cool but the photo doesn't really give any detail. The roush ones I saw in person look similar and look very cool. Can't wait to see some real photo's of these.

Roush louvres look real good till you get up close and see the rivets holding them on. MRT's attachments are hidden and they can be removed.I would look for the painting charge to be about $60 for both. That is for a good quality paint job that will match up perfectly.

When MRT say they are removable...what does thismean exactually? Arnt they put on with 3M tape like all the others?

And if they are removable, should we worry about them being stolen? Just asking...............those who have ordered please let m eknow. Thanks

Rene, you need a There is tons of info in the forum already on the MRT louvers. They are held on with hinges using 3m tape. There is a hex screw that when you remove it allows you to flip them up to clean the window.

They are most likely stuck on with 3M tape... I think when they say removable, they just mean not permanent as in they bolt/weld/mold on. And I'm sure if someone wanted to take them off your car and steal them, they could. But same goes for your wheels/tires, badges, exhaust, etc. Heck, someone could probably take off your rear bumper without setting off the alarm. If you live in a high-crime area, you just have to weigh your options.

Hey Adrenalin.did you order the MRT louvers?

What if we get them and dont like them.....will they take them back if we pay to ship them back? I tried to call them but they are moving right now, so I sent them an email this morning.

I know I am a nervous nelly.........

There are plenty on here that have ordered the MRT louvers. My guess is within the next month or so, we will see a few member's cars with painted MRT louvers installed on their cars. I am waiting until August to get mine (birthday present) so I am sure I'll be able to check out examples of some louvers before I order.
