+1 on that.

If you just do not want side windows or want it covered with something, I think the Cervini louvers look better than a riveted or even clean blank in the window itself (imho).

But hey it doesn't look terrible - do it if it gives you the wood!

So, it sounds like you guys might not like 'em? LOL
After looking at them some more on the car, and then at the pics of the others I saw, I'm pretty sure they had their's painted to match; still had the rivet, but painted. I don't like them enough to go through all that trouble. Thanks for you honest opinions! Back to the drawing board on this one... I have louvers on now that I like, so nothing really lost.

Yeah, it was a gamble on how the finish would look against the paint. I lose.

I actually like those on the 05-09, but not so much on the 10-12. No wood here

Not really a fan, I would hate to not be able to see out of the back windows at all. Even with my louvers, I can see out of them...thank god! SHR is where it's at, have you considered them?
