I'm surprised you don't have the cervini on there. They are some of the nicest IMO.

Anyway, I had the roush and now the cervini. The one + I will say about the roush is they are the best install IMO. They actually have brackets that are taped and then mounted onto the brackets. Most of the other kits are simply taped on. I can't really give an honest opinion without seeing your car or what else you plan to do becaue all the looks are subjective.

id go with the roush louvers i think they are the best made and look the best ... the only thing i dont like about them is you can see where they screw in on the side.... but if your car is black just paint the screws with a little touch up and youll never see em,

Even if your car is not black, paint with matching touch-up paint. Also remember that ALL 1/4 windows look like crap from the inside. One of the easiest tricks to to do is use 2 layers of limo tint on the inside to black them out.

Do any of those come painted? I haven't seen any body color rear louvers so I guess you want black 1/4 louvers too?
I got mine here:
http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merch...t_Code=DG-3180
$184.99 painted including shipping! I would recommend painting the insides as they are poorly prepped, if that matters to you. Black would be easy. I didn't want to mess with getting any overspray on my new yellow ones.
These are the cheapest. Painted Roush ones cost almost $300, I think.
They are the best mod and have the most effect on appearance for the $$$.

Another satisfied DG louver owner. Great quality, and they fit the look of the car best IMO. The others are too big and overbearing.

my rear window louvers are gonna be black to match my car, and the reason i dont have the cervini ones on here is becasue they are scoops not louvers and they will clash with the ones im putting in the back window and it wont look right

I personally don't care much for the roush. They just look too bulky to me. I like the CDC the best...they just look more retro to me.

These are on my short list too. I think I like the Rousch the best. Given that I have an '05, I wonder if I will have to get the painted louvers painted to match my car. I guess I won't know until I order them.
