Default Difference between these 2 louvers?

Anyone know what the difference is between these 2 side window louvers? They look very similar and both come painted but one is from DG Custom for $184.95 and the other is from Street Scene for $329.95. From the same vendor. Why such a price difference?

They do look similar. I've never heard of DG Custom. I would look up some reviews of them as well as that particular product if you can find them, and if they are good jump on them.

Price difference is probably just the name, but it's possible there is a quality difference, or they could be the exact same thing...reviews would be crucial if I were you.

the ones on the black car look like the gaps are bigger. also looks more flush at the front, as if the ones one the blue car have a bulge where they start. i doubt quality differs much on something like that, so it is probably just two different makers with two different moulds. id say determine if the subtle difference in looks is enough to justify a price hike

thats just what it looks like to me though

They look very similar. I actually think the DGs are better looking though.
I agree that with something like that I doubt the quality will differ to much. But go look at some reviews just to be sure.

I have the Street Scene's and like them. had them 3 years and they still look good, but then again I only take my GT out in good weather. That's a big difference in price though and it's worth looking at the DG Custom.

Default These are DG and survived a cross country trip at 75 mph...

...recently. paint was a perfect match and instalation easy. Got them from partscheap.com

The trip was 2890 miles from SF CA to eastern PA.

Ya there isn't much of difference as it was already said the gaps look bigger to me and maybe the shape of them slightly. I was looking at the street scene myself but I wasn't ready to go out and spend all that money on them. The DG customs look better to me and there cheaper too so its a win win. I heard of them before though so there pretty good.

Mine are the DG Custom. Had them for two years now no problems. For the price you can't go wrong with the DG's.

Thanks everyone for the feedback - and those pic!

I think I will go with the DGs. I really like the way they look on D'prived's car.

Any recommended vendor - D'prived?

The rear window louvers look nice too.

Thanks again to all for the kind help.
