Cool Roush quarter louvers

Does anyone have these? Know how they are installed? I was thinking about getting some but NOT a fan of drilling holes in my car! Any other louvers out there that people recommend? All for the quarter window. Also I like the Rousch spoiler also any info about them?

The Roush louvers install with brackets attached to the windows. All of them use 3M tape in some fashion.

THX! They come in the new 08 colors as well so I'm probably going to get a set. Now what about stripes. Do they have a gold one? Dark metallic red car, gold race stripe. Might try to get a gold powder coating on the stock 17" rims to go with em. What you think?

At the Roush site it reads $167.51 quantity 1. Is that one set or one louver? My guess is one louver, but hoping set!

That is for the set unpainted? That is about what I paid last year.

Yes that is for a set unpainted. I just ordered a set in dark candy red and it was $422.30 after shipping. Now if for some odd reason I ever need or want to take them off how do you go about removing the studs 3M tapped to the windows?

How about using a 3M low profile velcro they make for just that purpose... ? My brother has his S197 louvers on with that and can remove his louvers for cleaning... We were just talking at a family dinner - he had his car up to 100 and they didn't move or come off...

By the way - gold stripes on that red?? WOW! How retro! Very cool!!!!!!

Hmm, I can remove just the louvers for cleaning with a hex key, but as far as I know without destroying them and maybe cause some needed body work in that area, they will not come off that easy. I suppose if you work on it slowly you could get the adhesive off??

Yea I'm thinking the gold would be cool as well. More in tune with the "new/retro" theme the car was made with. Sorta like the black trans am with gold trim. Just retro clasic. I saw a pic of rear window louvers. Think they would be just too much but is there a site with some of em out there? THink after the quarter window louvers I might get the Roush spoiler too. I like them.

The Roush louvers are great. I got them pre-painted Torch Red for $279. I chose the Roush because I can remove the screws and take them off for cleaning. Personally not worried about removing the fasteners because I'm not planning on getting rid of them! They look too boss to me! Pics in my gallery if you wanna see 'em..
Heres where I got mine, I see they're $344 now. Mine were on sale back in November.
