The Roush louvers are my favorites. Santa brought me a set but I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. I'm a little worried I won't like losing some of my vision through the quarter windows but the only way to tell will be to put 'em on and try 'em out. If I decide I don't like them I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem selling them to someone else. I'm hoping to get them on later this week.
yeah, thats the thing that got me wondering about louvers also. how much do you lose, vision wise? is it even significant? the roush and scoops are my favorite.

They are good just have to use your side mirrors and you will be fine. That's all I use but I have no choice cause I can't see anything out this back cause of that spoiler being right in my line of sight

Adjust your mirror so you can see the side of your car, check mirror, then check out your side window.
Simple as that. You'll love 'em when you get them on. I had to take mine off for a few day's, long story short the dealer thought my rattle was the louver and it wasn't. I had to threaten the hubby that I was going to put them on if he wasn't.
He put them on real quick ! [8D]

i have roush, i love them..visability from the inside is almost nothing once they are on but seriously, why do you need to look out that window?, between the rear view and the side mirror you'll see if anyone is along side you trailing alittle

As a motorcyclist, I always take extra care to look for motorcyclists when I'm in my car. They're smaller, and sometimes side and rear mirrors don't catch them. Also, turning my head is how I learned to drive a car.

I grew out of the louver look....I just like when they are blacked out with tints.
