Yeah, I was looking into that.
Does this look legitimate?

ok, a couple things....
-they are held on the window with 3 metal mounting brackets (the brackets are held on with 3M tape), if you want to take the louver off for cleaning, just unscrew 3 hex bolts, it's really easy.
-if you decide to buy the roush louvers, look for a site that is selling the painted louvers, unless you know a good painter that won't charge too much. i bought mine directly from roush and its a perfect match for not just the color but factory durability/qaulity
hope this helps you.... ....can't wait to see some pics of your decision!

So does that mean that in theory, any jerk could unscrew and remove those louvers, leaving the owner with a nasty surprise?

RE: Rear window scoops
in theory?? are you serious?? ok, in theory ANYTHING can happen, someone could unscrew and steal the louvers....OR WORSE! take your wheels, KEY YOUR CAR, bash your windshied with a bat, rip off the side skirts, break window and get inside car and steal cd player yada yada, or steal your gas with a garden hose (happened to my buddy), or even drop a big A$$ nuclear bomb on it!!!!!! haha
so YES, some "jerk" could unscrew the louvers but that would be cheaper to fix then some of the "theoretical possibilities" listed above.

RE: Rear window scoops
just givin' you a hard time there alex.... ...and trying to score some cheap laughs, but your parking gargae incodent is all too common. it's really ashame, i have been very fortunate so far, but i fear that with every mod i add, it's one more reason to attract bad people. but on the other hand, i don't try to live in fear, cuz if you do...THEY HAVE WON!!! haha, funny story though, one night at work we got off @2am and walked to our cars and my co-worker parker his 93 honda civic next to me, and someone broke his window and stole his cd player....WHEW, talk about cheatin' death!!! that was too close to being MY car. anyways, ehough of my pointless ramblings.....
