sorry, I really need to get new photos of my louvers so Wheelskin can show these off. All I have is low quality pics. Seems every time I clean my car something comes up and I forget! I removed those yellow louvers (yes, that's my GT on their website) and they just pulled right off. It took a good amount of force, but they were never loose while on the car, so don't worry about them detaching if properly installed.
I cleaned up the area and put on the new Black ones they sent me. The quality was very good, and the unpainted side was clean too.
The view out is much better than with the Roush or even the SHR ones:
... though obviously not as good as a clear window! Don't worry about how to clean the window, as it will be covered and won't get that dirty anyway. You just spray water in there, and if you have a thin sponge it can fit into most of the openings, and a folded chamois dries it off good. No real lingering water drips either.

Orion, nice pony. Really good job of providing pics and info too, especially the view from the driver's seat - thanx!
How's the fit? Can you see any glass around the edges that didn't get completely covered?
Also, did you have to remove the faux gas cap emblem to put on that blackout panel?

I know you asked for non-black, but...
My louvers were put on non-painted by the dealer before I even saw the car for the first time. I'm thinking about taking them off and getting them painted gloss black.
