Default Rear quarter window louver question

So I have been looking into getting window louvers for the rear quarter windows on my '06 GT, and I have decided to go with the painted louvers with easy install. The 2 I have seen the most and read about are the ones from hubcapsplus.com

http://www.wheelskin.com/Merchant2/m...Category_Code=

and the ones from Roush

http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=654

Both look great, but I am leaning towards the ones from hubcapsplus due to the look. I like the 5 piece vs the 4 piece slats. I wanted to get other people's opinions based on look, and possibly experience.

Thanks guys

I like the solid louvers but they really create one hell of a blind spot.

I think the solid louvers look great, and your car is one heck of an example. With my car having the stripes and being white, I think the slotted ones from hubcapsplus have a nice look to them. I can't quite tell from the picture, but what kind of grille did you put on your car?

I have the ones from wheelskin. I like that I can still see out of the quarter windows.

That's the exact reason why I don't have any.
Too bad though, I like them.
