To louver or not....
I have been kicking around the idea of getting the side window louvers for my coupe and was wondering for those that have them if they have any problems with them. Also whether or not to even get them in the first place and just tint the side windows instead. I really like the look both ways so just looking for some feedback.
These are the ones i was looking at:

Here are some pictures of my Mustang when I just had tint on it and then when I got the louvers. Just figured this would be the best way to show you. I think the louvers look awesome. One of my favorite mods.
Sorry they are cell phone pics.

i put louvers on twice, bc i changed my mind, and then took them off again.
it was a real PITA taking off the sticky stuff from the tape off the paint.
then had to buff the paint after bc there were minor scratches from taking the tape off.
if you are on the fence about the louvers, then dont get them.
i like how my car looks without them better. but i'm one of the few.

I was about to jump on Wheelskins louvers until I ran across a deal on SHR louvers that I could not pass up. They have always been my favorite. No worries about them flying off. I get a lot of compliments with them;

With most, they're held down with 3M tape. Only improper prep and installation will cuase them to come off. Mine have been installed for almost 3 years and 30,000 miles with frequent runs up to and over 120 MPH. They're as solid as day 1.
