Maybe if he paints it to match, depending on the color. Black looks dope.

They are very sexy especially on black, but the boss's had them on every color and they all looked good.

If you like it, get it. I have seen some nice stangs with them. I have them on my vert...they look cool with the top down too.

Did a little research today ,this was more important than hanging my xmas lights,and after driving myself nuts, Visus appears to me to be about the best, big $$$ 's, I do know the inexpencive plastic will warp in sun light ,you only get what you pay for, these are aluminum, good pics on custom . autos on a2003gt. Still trying to make my mind up.

yo guys u forget how hot my car looks with them mine are made by astra, all i get is compliments, only con there is to mine are i had to cut them on the sides to fit correctly with my c-pillars (but they fit perfectly molded to window with stock) and they rattle on the glass when i have my music up loud(but i have 2 mtx 12's in the trunk) and i took care of that with just placing the lil rubber stoppers that ppl put on like kitchen cupboards literally 3 bucks at home depot and no more rattling, trunk still rattles tho i have got to fix that

p.s. im bout to go take updated pics of car with new rims

these are the plastic i had the parts store order both for me and compared them on my car before buying them, the visus just didnt go with the car, the ones i got just were more sleek, the visus top louver stuck up over the roof of car and the louvers had like a 5 inch gap in between trunk lid and bottom louver, just wasnt workin for me, the plastic astra dont stick out as far so they come all the way down to the trunk lid, look a lot better in my opinion...... i was suprised i def thought i would be goin home with the aluminum visus but i had a complete change of heart once i saw both on the car

plus these are on hinges and easy to lift up and clean window, the visus came in like 2 sperate pieces

I just dont know about them. Sometimes they look ok, but most times, I think they suck. Just me I guess.

Those astra look good , have to agree the visus appear higher,you may have sold me on them. Are the c-pillars easy to install, the directions I read says basically you have to rip half of the side of the car off !!!!

I like the way they look, and this is the only one I'd ever use:

MACH 1 STYLE ALUMINUM SPORT LOUVER KIT

Saw a black one on an orange GT and it looked like **** totally ruined the hotness of the car. Just go with 5% tint and some C-pillars. Unless you car is black its not gunna look good. But hey thats my opinion.
