Default Pics Request...

Just ordered a set of prepainted "Eleanor" style quarter window louvers from American Muscle for my '12 GT500. If you have them on your ride, post a pic.

They are a great choice, I can get you a picture of the front of them tomorrow.The weather here has been so terrible. I'm waiting for a nice day to take a friend out and get some professional pictures done.

Regarding the louvers. The only thing I would reccomend is that you make sure if you use the grills, that you press them into the bonding tape for quite some time. I've already had to take off one of the louvers because the grill came loose and the rear end of the louver popped off the tape(Probably because of the snow/cold weather in general.) That didn't stop me from having a hard time taking it off, it was just annoying. I still have to fix the other louver before the sun comes back, Same issue with that one.

OTHER then that, they are great, and I get alot of compliments.

Thanks! Looks great, and I love those wheels with the red/black. Clean ride friend!

Yeah - go buy some 3M tape right now. I bought the same set and after maybe 3 or 4 weeks, I hear something rattling. I pull over and the tape AM shipped was junk and the louver was barely hanging on. Im waiting for warm weather to put them back on. There were a lot of posts on AM about the tape, but apparently not enough for them to change whatever product they are using. Just be safe and go spend a little extra coin for the 3M off the shelf.

<-----Pic is here

Is there a brand name for it? Just curious is all and it's probably cheaper than the 3M stuff.
