DG customs, 185$ prepainted, and they matched the paint pretty damn well.



After reading a ton of reviews, I went with http://www.g2usa.com/
It went on really really well and is very high quality.
Same ones I'm getting, should be here Friday. I'm glad to see they look good. Can't wait now!

Oh and it's funny that you actually found them cheaper than what DG customs sells 'em for lol ($199.00). I coulda saved a few bucks.

I got a question for ya though. Are the interior sides on yours painted as well? After ordering mine I saw the disclaimer that only the exterior side is painted (from dg customs).

Car looks nice.

OP, how do you think it would look with black louvers on your car? Contrast? Tacky?

I'm not usually a big fan of louvers but those look really good. Reasonable price, too.

Someone asked this in another thread and I don't recall the answer(s). How do you clean the windows? I guess the answer is you don't. So how grungy does the window get?

The interior of the louver isn't painted, only the front and the lip on the side is painted. They went on extremely easy and definitely add a good look.


The small rear windows I previously had tinted to like 10% so they're pretty dark, I read someone used vinyl to cover the window.

I washed my car yesterday and was easily able to wash out all the pollen with the hose by just spraying it through the slats. And I was easily able to fit a rag in there to dry it off. I really wouldn't worry about it getting dirty.

I think black louvers on grabber blue would look really weird haha. I'd rather just have no louvers and the tinted windows exposed :P

Ahh, I tinted mine also but only 35%. I'll have to wait till I get 'em on I suppose to see what all can be seen from inside. That vinyl sounds like a good option, I'll have to see. I thought about black for mine to match the gold/black theme I apparently have going but worried it would just look like I slapped 'em on without painting 'em lol.

Here are images of the caliper / rotor painting on my MB using Rustoleum.

The red calipers increased the stopping performance big-time.

I love how the mustang colors pop at night. The blue looks like it's glowing.
