Default Decent rear louvers?

Hey guys. First post here. I just recently got a new 2012 mustang v6. Ive always wanted a mustang. I guess thats besides the point though. Ive been looking for rear louvers for the rear view window. I love the look of them on mustangs. Alot of the ones I have came across havent had the best reviews though. Are there any louvers anyone have used before or have experience with and would reccomend?

Thanks

I have always liked rear louvers on Mustangs! I looked at everything I could find (there aren't many out there). I ended up getting the MRT Aluminum flat black and having them painted to match the GT500. The MRT louvers are more rounded at the edges and have hinges and a prop rod on each side to clean the glass. Vinyl Stripes were added at a graphics shop. I like the way mine turned out! I also put SHR quarter window louver on!

I went with Astra Hammond aluminum louvers. Been on the car for about a year and a half with no problems. Still look good IMO.

This picture was take about five months ago.

I think the ones on my stang are the same as d'prived, only problem is when i bought the car they started rattling after 55.
Went back and talked to one of the body repair people and he offered to replace all the foam stripping on it for free since i just bought the car, only thing is I didnt want to hand it back for a day, barely wanted to goto work cause it made me stop driving.
However he gave me some foam for free to put in a few spots and it hasnt rattled since.

tl:dr: small rattle possible, easily fixed, damn sexy looking

+2 for the MRT rear window louvers. I had them on my 06 GT for 4 years. Had 1 plastic clip that broke & that was the only issue I had. No rattles, no unbonded mounting pads. Hinged for easy window cleaning. Same louvers for the 05-12.
