Thinking about getting quarter window louvers, where do you think is the best place to buy them? and are they hard to install?

Did you have something in mind already? There are ones that range from tape on to replacing your quarter window. American Muscle is a good place to start if you haven't.

I got mine from American Muscle and they look great. Super easy to install, just make sure you prep it right or the 3M tape won't stick very well and you'll have to do it over (know from experience)

I got the Roush ones which came with brackets but I believe the AM ones are straight tape on with 3M tape. Just make sure you clean the area well and let the tape bond (let it sit for a few hours).

And don't tell me you screwed the Roush louvers into the body..

I read that the OEM pieces are held on with 3M DualLoc (hardcore velcro), which I've used for other things so I know it's pretty tough. Anyone tried to attach their aftermarket louvers with that stuff?

If you decide to go with the louvers from AM, be sure to take your time and prep the area thoroughly. I had a small issue with one of the corners not adhering properly and had to re-do. Also, I would recommend purchasing some extra super duty 3M tape and using. I bought the 3M super duty tape at Home Depot.
