I just realized that nobody has posted photos of the louvers up, like for when you want to clean the rear window.
How about it?

Saw you on GO.Net but couldn't reply for some reason.
Are these the 10612 louvers, it dosen't specify aluminum on Amazon.The price is about right though.
They look great! How did you get the brackets to line up correctly, was there a template?

They're pretty easy to line up. Basically what you do is to put the brackets on the louvers, put it on the window and mark where the brackets are. Then you take them off the louvers and put them on the window with double sided tape. Follow their instructions carefully and you won't have any trouble. The only thing I did different from the instructions was that I used masking tape to mark the position of the louvers instead of a felt tipped marker or grease pencil as they suggested.
I'm pretty happy with them. The paint job that they come with is a little on the thin side, but it's adequate.

I like them better on colors other than black. They really stand out. Not much I can do about that though.

Paint them Grabber Orange! Nah, I guess that wouldn't work. [:@]

Though I have had a guy suggest I paint them silver to match the front stripe. I don't think he was kidding either.
Nasty.

RE: Rear louvers are on!
i've had my set on for quite some time and i love em - my only usggestion is to periodically tighten the nuts and check the silicone for wear. i found that after a few months, things started to loosen up a bit. nothing that would've compromised the integrity of the connections immediately, but definitely something to keep an eye on.
