Default Roush louvers recieved and installed today!

Mr. UPS man showed up about 5:15 this evening with my new Roush rear quarter louvers. I picked them up from "The Spoiler Factory" as I liked that they offered the service of painting them. I had heard from some folks I know that their paint service was pretty good and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The paint was great and they were packed perfectly for shipping so they did not get damaged. I can't wait to see my baby in the sun! Here's a few pics I shot tonight of her after I finished up in the garage.

wow they look good! Just curious for those with louvres, how big of a blindspot do they create? Or do they not really affect it?

The Roush louvers don't directly use 3M tape to attach the louver to the car. They have three powdercoated brackets that use a 3M tape to attach the brackets only. The front brackets have two contact points..one each on the glass of the quarter window and one on the body just adjacent to the quarter window. The rear bracket has three contact points, one on the glass and two on the body. The roush louvers are a bit bigger than the quarter windwos so they are larger than the louvers that just attach with 3M tape directly to the windows only. The louvers then attach to the brackets with screws...two up fron and one in the rear.....It's a really solid set up that allows you to take the louver off if you ever want to clean the window.
