I just went to a place called "The Glass Doctor" and they installed them in about an hour for less than $100. Watching him do the install, it was well worth the money lol.

Thanks for the install tip.

I was watching a Shelby Mustang video last night and found these window plates. I think these are bad axx and they come in polished or black....could also paint them car color.

[QUOTE=jrockgts197;7475852]07stang, those look awesome. Did you install those yourself? QUOTE]

Thanks! No, since my car was in the shop for the hood TSB, I had Ford use their glass guy to install them. He charged $125. I only paid $40.00 for the louvers. A guy on eBay bought them new but wrecked his GT before he could install them. His pain.....My gain!
Keep an eye out on eBay or your local Craigslist. I saw a set for the '11 Stang about two months ago at a decent price.

I'm not a fan of those, they look out of place imo. You know what they say about opinions...

I have had mine for 5 yrs now and no issues...I personally love them but its a personal decision....also prep is everything on ensuring proper adhesion...other then that no worries!

True....I thought they were cool. I threw them out there for the op or anyone else that didn't know about them. Depends on car color / look someone is going for.

my wheelskin ones attached to the glass, not the paint. They are easy to remove, should you tire of them or want to switch to black (like I did).
Screaming Yellow, a perfect color match:

or black ones:



Here's what it looked like with tinted glass on the rear side window:

If going with louvers I'd save the money and not tint the window
