Nice! I have an asphalt too and I want the louvers.
I noticed your badges are silver instead of chrome.. what did you use to do that? Does it match scion's badges pretty well? I want to do the exact same thing to mine |

Haha those go pretty well with the car. It's funny, I usually think of american muscle cars from the 80s when I think of louvers, but this works somehow.

Just curious, since it is bolted on, how do you wash the rear window?

They look good on this color, now I wonder how they look on a hot lava. I'm in the same boat as everybody else though, just can't swing that price. Plus I don't know if they'd work with other ideas I have.

Looks good on asphalt. Now the taillights look out of place though.

Thanks, I've decided to change out tailights something solid red, keeping the louvers there's just too much going on in the back end, too busy now. Color keyed louvers on hot lava would be badass! But then that's probably going to cost ~1400 then :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

To get a real detailed cleaning you'll have to take the whole thing off, disappointing I know as some louvers simply hinge open. But the louvers are decently spaced apart where I can manage to get my hands in there okay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've had them on for about 3 days prior and didn't notice anything different going 85 mph tops. But I tried to really listen for it this morning, and you can hear some faint rattle only on crappy roads. Highways and decently kept roads I couldn't really hear it. But I did use lock tite to keep the screws in place, maybe without it over time more rattle means tighten it down lol Although going through the laser wash this morning and the air dry made quite a lot of noise. Bit scary actually lol but the lock tite did it's job :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They look pretty good, probably why I manned up and bought them for my car. Mine should be here on Monday. Glad someone else was able to post how the template lays out and how it attaches to the trunk area.
