I'm still unable to tell if those were perfectly flush with the body, but so far it looks ok.
With mine the important thing was that they lined up with the edge evenly around the window.
Here they are on our sponsors website:

I saw those louvers earlier and considered switching to those. At least the wheelskin ones fit right up against the edge of the entire window opening and touches or almost touches the body & paint. I guess it's because they have a lip/edge around the louvers. The Street Scene ones don't have that lip so it fits right on the edge of the glass & don't touch the body which makes it more difficult to fit properly. I think Street Scene messed up when they made the mold for these louvers. [:@]

they look awesome, got a picture of the spacing off the body since you doubled up the 3m tape?..im gonna try to place an order for some pre painted ones myself this upcoming week but the $386 just seems ridiculous when they are only $167 unpainted, can only find red ones on ebay, texas hot rods says they cant do Vapor(wtf?) so it looks like im going directly through roush
The body is curved and the louvers are flat. The louvers still touch the body and have
gaps at the front corners and in the rear. [:@]The two layes of tape does not prevent
the louvers from touching the body and the gaps are bigger. [:@]
Looks like I am stuck with what I got because I am not taking them suckas
off of there to fix the gaps. []
If I had to do it again, I would not use two layers of 3M VHB on the rear mount
but still use it on the front two mounts.

Nice to see that the install went well. I remembering PM'ing you about the extra screws that you bought (but I was too late to get the extra ). Anyways, did you use them? How did they work? I have my Louvers sitting in the basement to put on once the winter is over...my car wrapped up for the winter [:@]
I painted my SS screws G2 RdFire Metallic to match the louvers. They worked
great. It helps to have a T handle allen wrench to get em to start while bending
the louvers to match the body contours. Some tape to hold em in place untill
you get two of the screws installed works great.
Here is an overall pic but its raining here. [:@]
