Astra Hammond makes the rear louvers. I got mine from Ninosports. They are the aluminum kind. I had a set of the plastic louvers on an '05 I used to own but take it from me spend the extra $$$ and get the aluminum. The rear visibility is far better and they look almost exactly like the ones Ford used in the '70s. Be sure to follow the instructions when mounting the brackets to the glass. Also be careful when installing the louvers onto the brackets. You can easily scratch the finish on the edges if you don't have an extra pair of hands so get a friend to help when you are ready to mount them. I let the bonding tape cure for 3 days before I mounted mine. When you stick the brackets onto the glass be sure the tabs are hooked to the underside of the edges of the glass. When you see the brackets you will know what I am talking about. Roush also have aluminum louvers. I believe they are hinged but the price is more than double what I paid for mine....like $800-$900. You could take a poll and maybe find the best deal but regardless of what brand you choose get aluminum. You will be very satisified.

Here's a trick for you TR guys.
My CDC spoiler was getting all scraped up again and I was about to remove it and get it painted for a 3rd time. I figured I'd stop at a sign shop to see if they has some of the clear #M bra material so I could put that on after I got it painted.
The gut at the sign shop told me not to bother painting it and just use red 3M tape on thespoiler. I was skeptical but he came out with a roll that was an exact match for torch red.
He sold me 30" strip for $10. that was enough material to do the spoiler 3 times and I still had some left over. I decided to put some on the window trim to see if I liked it. Check out the color match in these pictures:

Yes, Satin black is definitely available. They have several differnt finishes for black. (gloss, semi gloss, flat, satin, etc) Your best bet is to visti your local sigh shop. You'd be surprised at the color selection available. If you can't get your exact color, they will print it for you.
