Default Anyone running SHR flush-mount 1/4 louvers with rear window louvers?

As the title suggests, I am looking for pictures of mustangs with the SHR flush mount 1/4 louvers with rear window louvers. Not sure how it would look.
If the rear window louvers were painted to match the car, that would be even better.
If the car was white and the louvers were painted, that would be best!

Thanks!

Also, for anyone who has had their aluminum rear window louvers painted, about how much did it cost?

SHR louvers are one of the most popular ones out there.. and they always look great. I doubt you will find people with unpainted SHR louvers.

True. If I get any louvers, it will definatly be those.

But what I was talking about with the paint was the rear window louvers, not the SHRs. I asked if anyone that had their aluminum rear window louvers painted would post up some prices for the painting. I don't have much of a budget and was wondering how much I needed to save up.

Theres a white gt around me. He has the rear aluminum louvers, painted white. It dosent look very good at all, IMO. He's got a lot of work done to the exterior, but the painted rear louver just kills it, I dunno. If you do decide to go this route, Id say keep it black for a while and THEN paint it, if you dont like it, afterwards.

Your original post was a bit mangled. Anyways, there are some customer submitted images on the AM site with some rear window painted louvers. Personally I would leave them black.

IMO white would not look good at all for the back glass. Since your car is white, why not go with a black/white theme? I saw an older model Camaro the other day with the back louvers painted white to match the car....YUCK!
If I get time, I'll play with it in Photoshop so you can see.

Ok guys, thanks. The thing is though, I plan on getting a dark blue 18" stripe with 2 1" pins on either side, so don't you think black/white/blue would be a bit much? I might go to the photochop section and have someone make a mock-up of it but just picturing it my head seems a little overdone.

Yes, that is too many colors.
