Finally I had time to take some pics of the Roush spoiler and window louvers. They are really nice pieces and were easy to install with the instructions provided by Roush. I guess let me know what you guys think. The one thing I like about these side window louvers is that you can unscrew them unlike some of the others that use double side tape, so that they can be removed to clean under them.
Roush Spoiler - $285 Roush Window Louvers - $ 167 Paint and Installation - $250 Total ~ $702 Thanks for the compliments. It might be a little high compared to others but the quality of the pieces and job done by the shop that painted and installed them is top quality.
I like the window louvers but my vote is still out on the spoiler. At first i didnt like it but it is starting to grow on me the more i see it. Im def going to get those window louvers when I get my car. Looks good though good job.
Can you give us a close up shot on how the window louvers mount to the body? I have wondered how intrusive they are to the outer body panels etc... Much appreciated. They look pretty sweet and price for the looks, I think they show great value.
They mount using 3 metal brackets that are about 3-4" long, brackets are 3m taped to the car using a template. Roughly half of each bracket is on the window and half on the body panel. The screw holes in the louvers are on the outer end of each bracket. They do cover more area than just the glass.
Vandil is completely correct on how they mount. Here are some pics of them up close. Sorry if they are kind of crappy, I was in a hurry.
I like that it's screwed on to something that's taped on. I guess that's so you can remove them more easily, but is that really an issue for most people? It doesn't hurt anything though, so why not give it that functionality. Love the louvers, but I also think the spoiler ain't for me, but it's not horrible by any means.
I like it allot....still thinking duck tail ....but this really came together nicely...thanks ...I think you got an excellent price.....
Looks great -- another cool Sonic Blue! Funny thing is, I spent years driving my '66 fastback and wishing I had windows where the louvers were, like on a Shelby. Now, guys wish they had louvers where the windows are! I wouldn't mind having scoops over the windows, too, like on a '68 Shelby.
