Default Quarter Window Louvers

I just recieved my '07 Mustang GT/CS and I'm interested in buying the window louvers. I've seen them on eBay and most stick on with double-back tape. How have these 'stick-on' louvers held up? Any problems at highway speeds? Hate to have these rip/blow off the vehicle while driving on the highway? Any feedback/experience with these would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Don't have one, so I'll let those who do take it from here!

Im with you on this, I just got my 07 about a wek ago and am really nervous to put the louvers on without hearing how theyve held up for others. Put there so damn seksi! Im doing the 1/4 windows, and ya any feedback from those who have put the mod on there Id like to hear also!

yeah, I won't try it but I'm pretty sure I could grab mine and lean back while holding them and they won't budge!
Got a good deal here:

They come painted but could use a little more prep work on the reverse side

they will not come off. I actually had to take them off and let me tell you how much of a pain in the a$$ it was. they will not just come off when driving unless you dont put them on right. which isn't hard. they are a good first change to the look.

Be careful with the less expensive ones - there is one that is just a molded plastic with decals to look like louvers. According to a friend of mine - if it is the 3M tape - you are pretty good to go with no problems. Most of the trim, etc. on cars now is mounted on with the 3M tape. If you are concerned about it Roush makes a set that mounts on brackets.

Strange... the link Orion provided doesnt give the option of having them painted in Alloy metallic... Am I crazy or is alloy not listed?
