Default Louvers

Hey, need some advise on Louvers for rear and side windows. Price and quality wise. Did some searching, could not find much information.

The best stuff for the best price?

There have been a lot of posts about louvers. For side windows there are a lot of choices. S, you have to decide whether you want louvers or side scoops. Slotted or not slotted. Then shop around, for these there are a lot of choices and the determining factor will probably be shipping costs because they are generally about the same price.

Back Window louvers were a different story, for me anyway. I believe that the aluminium louvers are a better quality than carbon. But I found huge differences in shipping price. For example for the same exact louvers California Mustang wanted $145.00 for shpping. I bought them from MRT and saved about half that.

So that is my experience. Good Luck!

to give you a quick look at the street scene side louvers. They were 130 from summit and a friend painted them for nothing. but they do take a little bit of prep work because of the material. If not done right they will crack. But they look great to me. Install is very easy and quick but the only beef is not being able to see out those side windows. It was weird before I did not even notice that I even used those window but now I do. Hope this helps somewhat.

ive got the roush, they where 165.oo + paint. very high quality and the neat thing about them after tey are installed you can remove them to clean the rear window (yes it still gets dirty with vents) there are 3 little allen head bolts that hold it onto the bracket. plus its a 3 vent design east to wax and most important less nooks for wax to hide in

MRT Direct for my side and rear...rear are the aluminum, come powder coated and I had a friend paint them for me and my boss picked up the bill on the painting. Side and rear cost was right at $600, including shipping.
