RE: window lavours
it depends on the color scheme your tryn to go wit. I'm planin on just leavn mines black, b/c i'm goin w/ a black theme i.e. Black interior, Black wheels, Black Chin Spoiler, Black hood scoop, Black Stripes. Of course its gonna take a while but it's gonna be a beast once i'm done. to answer your question It depends on where you get them from, some places will paint them to the factory specs and some just send it to you un preped, you might have to sand it and paint it yourself.

I ordered Louvers and they came from the manufacturer with a Satin Black Powder Coating. These Louvers are made out of aluminum and are supplied with metal plates that have a 3M adhesive on the back of them These plates get attached to the rear window and then the Louvers get screwed onto these plates. One small problem I encountered with these Louvers was that the two supports that come down the center come in direct contact with the window and chatter when you drive or gover bumps. I over came this problem by purchasing some foam weather stripping from Home Depot and placing it on the supports where they come in contact with the window.

The dealership threw mine in for free and painted them to match...mine are not louvers though, they are the scoops...
I just bought a hood scoop of off e-bay and the guy is painting it to match.....i just gave him the color code for the paint (the 06 tungeton gray). Haven't gotten it yet, but I can't imagine it not matching......

I got mine online and I wentt o a local body shop and they got the paint code off the side of my driver door and it was an exact match. After they installed them too......using the 3M tape tape that came with them. They did it all for around forty bucks which was really good.
