I had the roush louvers on my old s197 and loved the looks of them. But there are two major cons about them.

1. They scratch the paint from moving around if theyre not bolted on tight enough and if theyre too tight.
2. When your sitting in the back you cant see all the sexy cars/girls that the people in front point out

im going with taking them off, and replacing them with the saleen louvers or the flush fit ones posted above :beer:

Here are some pics

And backing up is no problem with these, they are angled so you can see when looking back..

And a Grabber Blue 10 GT500 with them

Those look sick. I actually like those. :beer:

I have been trying to figure out if I should ditch the side louvers or not? They came with the car when i bought it. I will have to do a decent amount of work to make sure the paint is ok underneath of them, they kind of suck because they vibrate sometimes and make it a bitch to back out of a parking spot. Also you cannot clean underneath of them.

Here is a picture for reference:

That looks terrible. I'd take those things off or go with the ones I quoted above.

Those quarter windows from the Saleen look pretty good, too.

But my vote still goes for the ones that come stock on the Cobra Jet...they look sharp.

Leave the Roush louvers. They look best. I liked the raised look over the Silver Horse units.

remove yours and get the ones tk posted. Those ones are nice.

leave em and go with new wheels.

 

[THE_STIG]

I am going to get new wheels.

Ok my next question, what should I use to take off the double sided tape? Also, what would be the best way to repair the area they covered? I have touch-up paint for the light scratches and I will clay bar the hell out of the area and dump a few coats of wax on it. Anything else?

 

[swoosh_stang]

definitely ditch them for the silver horse ones.

Ditch them and get the Silverhorse racing louvers, they look much better than those Roush louvers

off

I would also ditch the ones on the car and get the silverhorse ones, they look much better on the car and not so out of place

I'm debating whether to get the louvers or the side scoops. Now that I hear the cons on the louvers, I'm thinking side scoops. They look nice though.

Didn't read all 3 pages, my bad

Does WD-40 work in getting double sided tape off? I have read a few places about pouring it on and letting it soak in. I am not a big fan of putting anything on my paint and letting it sit.

Or is using a blow dryer to heat the tape a better idea?
