Which Color Louvers would you recommend?

I got my '11 Mustang a few months ago as a grad present, and am purchasing my first add on for it. My dad is a worker for Ford so can get me some Louvers at a great price, but am wondering which Color for my Grabber Blue Mustang with black side stripe. I'm between either Flat Black to match the stripe or Grabber blue. Any comments?

Flat black, but it will be harder to keep clean and they will show water spots easier.

Maybe it'd help if someone could post some pictures/chops of both combos. When I think about leaving the louvers painted black, all of the examples that come to mind look more like they ran out of money before getting them painted. I'd say paint em blue, unless someone can show me a picture that'll change my mind.

Which louver are we talking about?

Back window or rear quarter window?

I'm saying back window black, rear quarter window blue.

If you're talking about the quarter window louvers, I'd suggest doing them in Grabber Blue, unless you are also going to have some flat black stripes on the side.

I'm talking about the quarter windows. I have a flat black mustang "performance" stripe on the sides so I felt the flat black louvers would help with the look. My side windows are also in the process of being tinted in the upcoming weeks.

BLACK! I wanted to add black louvers to my car but wasn't sure how it'd turn out so I just left it tinted

I don't know. I like contrast. If you plan on doing some type of striping on the hood or over the top, I say black definitely

Black sounds all well and good until you see it. It breaks up the smooth swoop of the sail panel. Go with GB and it will nicely mimic the '69/'70 body line which is a very good thing. Post pics whichever way you decide to go.

I think Grabber Blue would be better.

Match the car. Otherwise it looks unfinished.
