Default New Style of Rear Window Louvers?

Check out these new Slim-Line Louvers ... wonder if they are aluminum and will be available seperately. Saleen site still shows the standard MRT Louvers ...

Definately the set I want... its like the MRTs without the part that sticks up above the roof line.

I can see them better on my computer at home. Those are definitely the smooth PLASTIC Astra Hammond Louvers .... Bummer ... I already have a set of them with the Textured finish ... they look better smooth for sure ... but are still plastic.

Astra Hammond does make a 7 blade aluminum louver for ours, but I'm still not sure I'm crazy about them, at 379.00......plus shipping......
