Default Tinted Window Louvers

Just wondering if anyone has put these on their cars and if so.....do you like them? I didn't realize they go on the paint and not the window........will this cause any problems down the road?

+1 You can tint your quarter windows, but louvers are usually painted.

I think he is talking about these;

It's like ¼ window louvers but they are tinted (non painted) and looks like the pletes are sealed together with no opening.
I like the Silver Horse Racing louvers the best but you have to take the window out.

Next best IMO are these;

So basically, the tinted louvers are actually smoked. Personally, I think they look so much better painted to match. And ,yes, I agree that the SHR flush are definitely the best looking louvers. I just didn't want to tear into the window when I went with my wheelskins.

I have the wheelskins as well and i like them. And they dont touch the paint, just stick to the glass.

It's unique, might work better with more black on the car. How do you like them?
