I think the silverhorse racing louvers look the best too, but I'm just not down with removing the glass permanently to have them. I paid to tint that quarter window glassdammit, I'm keeping them! 
In a perfect world the silverhorse ones would have quality auto glass as part of the structure rather than plastic but I'm sure that would cost a ton to do. Roush louvers are what's on my wishlist for Santa.

Bought my louvers off ebay -awesome paint job for $195-they stick on with 3m tape, and can be removed with adhesive remover,but you would have to make new strips to reapply them. When choosing between these and the flush mount , I chose based on the fact that they were Much easier to install in 5 mins. (don't have to remove the window) and the price was cheaper by $100. Also IMO I think the abs louvers look more agressive

I went with louvers from here and they are pre painted http://wheelskin.com/dg-3180.html
I did 3.73's yes it is worth it if you have some other suspension done....IE lca's. It was the best $700 I've spent but you must be tuned too. You need to change the speedo after the gears. I went from a 14.8 in the 1/4 to a 14.4 in the 1/4 with gears and a tune and my car pulled alot I mean alot harder with them.

Hi fellas. I currently have an auto'08 6'r with a GT takeoff, CAI, and 91 Bama Torque tune.
I have a couple of questions, and any help would be appreciated:
1) Side scoops: Where is a reputable place to buy some, and are they just stick on? Do they come pre-painted?
2) 1/4 Louvers: Where is a reputable place to buy them? I've read some bolt on, and some stick on...Do the bolt on's require drilling? If so, can the stick on ones be removed at all for window cleaning?
3) 3.73's: Is upgrading the gears worth the boost in performance? I was quite happy with the performance increase with the tune/cai/muffler, but will upgrading gears have as dramatic an effect? I'm not going to go to the 4.10's though, I drive all day in outside sales, and I need to balance performance and gas mileage.
Thanks fellas!

Do you need to do anything with tuning for the 3.73's besides change the selection on an SCT?
