At the time I bought my Astra Hammond louvers from Amazon.com, they were $230. with free shipping. Could be different by now but worth checking into.

What color did they come? Do they come painted?

well the most important thing is how they are painted. If they back ones are flat black and the side ones are glossy, it won't work!

I got mine here because they match the paint, and were the best price:

Ditto. The quarter window louvers (and side scoops) that I bought via the mentioned site match perfect. Since the louvers are smooth, there is an ABS smooth finish rear window louver (versus an ABS textured or aluminum) that I'm looking to buy that only comes in black, then have a body shop paint it to match.

Good luck!

RE: Louvers.........again

I think it's going to be very difficult to get the to match. Especially if you choose aluminum for the rear. (I like those the best.) They don't make aluminum for the sides so the thickness of the material is different and the shape of both windows is different so the angle of the slat will be different. You might be best served to get the side window scoops instead and not even try. I'm thinking I'll either do that or nothing.
