I really liked that. The 3rd party louvers stretch beyond the window. I also like that the OEMs are more rounded in the corners and even the louver opening have a nice arched curve to it. I went with the OEMs and I love them. They go on with velcro which is great for pulling off and cleaning. Here are a bunch of shots of them from different angles and even from the inside.
Good luck.

I like the OEM's as well when i first saw them. After my wife found the roush louvers and showed them to me she was stuck on them lol. I also like the three Louvers over the OEM five. Just my opinion. The 3M velcro is some tuff stuff holds very well. i was kinda scared at first maybe someone would just rip them off in the parking lot, but i gotta say there gonna have to work for them lol so far so good no attempts. I'm very careful where i park and try not to park close to others in the lot.

No experience w/ 3M velcro, but couldnt someone just peel them off and walk away with em?
Any quarter louvers that affix to the glass only? I like the pop-out quarters and would like louvers that I could use with pop-outs.

So do these affix to the glass or the body?

The 3M Velcro isn't that easy to get off there's no chance your just gonna walk by and pull them off.. I've hit 160MPH with them on and they didn't budge. You have to put effoft to get them off to even clean the glass, the only reason i used velcro is so i could clean the glass.

They look nice - and I like the velcro idea. How is the visibility with the Roush style louver?

Just about the same as any louver can't really see crap. I mean there's some visibility i hardly ever look out those windows any way so to have little to no visibility is not a issue for me..

I originally wanted them painted glossy black, but changed my mind they go with the rest of the trim un-painted.. So I opted for that.

Your car looks fantastic. Are those the ford oem louvers? They come in that shade of black?

Also, did you paint your wheels? Why do they look darker than the grey pp wheels. Is it just the light?

No, I agree with you, I think the contrast with your car is fantastic. I just thought the OEM ones came more of a light greyish color rather than matte black.
