I ordered my window louvers from them, shipped fast, great product. I don't know how good rear windows would look painted same color as the car though.

I think if you saw them painted you would know immediately that it would be way too over the top with the paint. There is one around in my town that is white and has them painted but the only reason they look good is because the car has 10" blue Lemans stripes on it that go over the louvers too.

Here is a view from the inside on American Muscle's site from customer photos. Keep looking in the customer photos and you will see some people have painted them.

There are certain things that look best black, rear window louver and rear bottom valance...too much color is just too much.

NO don't paint them.
I'm just messing with you, your car do what you like.
I have seen a few Mustangs with painted rear window louvers, I'm not a fan of the look on most, but to each his own. There are a few members on the forum with painted rear louvers that look sick. One of them is a GO GT500 with painted rear louvers and stripes. Awesome.

Think of it this way, you can always have them sent out unpainted, then if you want to change it just take them to your local paint guy.
