Default Pre Painted Louvers

While they look like Roush louvers, it doesn't say anything about Roush. What brand are they and how do they attach? to the windows? Thanks guys!

They're SR, same ones as these: http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...vers-0509.html

They attach with 3M Automotive Bonding Tape.

My only Question is that you have the same exact blue louver picture for that and Roush...so I don't know what the SR louvers really look like? Can you help me out here? Thanks.

Hey Streamline, can you please post pictures of them when you get the louvers on? Thanks!!


Nick, this is a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway.........

As much as they look lik Roush's louvers, I understand they are different. I am guessing they are different because they don't have the little screws in each corner like the roush ones.............is that correct?

Thanks!

And sorry to hijack.

It's no hijack. Pretty much the same questions I had about them as well. To me they look like Roush knockoffs, other than the screws and the way they mount they look 99% the same. And that's fine by me. I'll be sure to let you know what they look like in person as I HAD Roush louvers...butttt...well they melted to put it lightly lol. I'll also take some pictures, as I need a sig pic anyway!

Your welcome! Oh yeah, I remember that! It was the least we could do...I can't even imagine what I would do if I lost all my stuff.

LOL, not a hijack, definitely a valid question. I looked at them both side by side.

Immediate difference in styling is the Roush have the little screws in each corner and the SR do not. Besides that there some very subtle differences, but they do look very similar...I guess there is not really too many ways to make a 3 scoop louver look different LOL.

The louvers also have a major difference in installation. The Roush louvers require installation brackets onto your car and then you mount the louvers to the brackets, where as the the SR use 3M automotive bonding tape to directly attach the louvers.

Thanks Nick! I believe I will be inquiring about these in the future. I love my Roush louvers, but the brackets they use for installation are not very effective. I have had several issues with them falling off. IMO, the brackets do not allow enough surface area for the adhesvie tape to hold the louver in place. When you get high speeds involved, it can be an issue.

How much surface area for the adhesive is used with these SR louvers?
