hey guys, stephanie with americanmuscle.com,here with my review of the street scene quarter window louvers for all 2015 and up s550 mustangs. the street scene quarter window louvers area good option for the guys out there that are looking for some quarter window louversthat will add a different type of after-market look to the appearance of their car. while these are old-school inspired, they'redifferent for sure and will create a unique exterior appearance. quarter window louvers are always a quickand easy way to enhance the exterior appearance of the s550 in a non-permanent way.

so they're a good option for the owners thatare looking to add just a little something more, but that aren't looking to get crazymodifying. these louvers are five-slot open louvers,so they're automatically going to look different than window scoops. they come off the window slightly to givea low-profile box look, but the slots create the louver effect. these are not a stepped louver design likethe cervini's quarter window louvers are, so that's really going to set them apart. i would still say that they have a throw-backlook to them to the '60s and the '70s, but

they still have a look of their own. these do resemble rear window louvers, soi'd imagine that the two mods would pair nicely together. now the set that i have here in front of meis painted since we took these off one of our shop cars, but these will come unpaintedto you. so they'll have a matte black finish, whichis nice because this finish will work nicely with any color mustang. and they're also going to blend in with thewindow trim around the windows, so they'll look more like they belong.

i really like that the majority of quarterwindow scoops and louvers are off of this trend because this means that you can addthese exterior mods and not have to worry about affecting anything since these installright onto the window. another thing that's different about theselouvers here is that they will not completely black out the window, so you will be gettingsome light through these, or a back-seat passenger will be able to have a little bit of a view. the other thing to consider is that you canalways paint-match these if you want. they're made from a flexible urethane material,and this gets the product to be strong and durable at the same time so it can hold upagainst the elements.

so they'll arrive to you a matte black whichwill match any car, but if they're prepped properly, they can be paint-matched like theseare. one thing i'll mention here is that the backsideof these things aren't necessarily pretty, so if you're worried about seeing the backsidefrom inside of the car, then you always have the option of grabbing some quarter windowblackout decals to hide the backside. the blackout decals cost $25, and they'rejust a little styling upgrade if you're worried about the look from inside the car, but youwon't be getting any light through these louvers if you go that route. as far as price, you can expect to spend justunder $200 for these louvers.

these are currently the least-expensive rearwindow louver or scoop. and like i said, they do have a differentloop, so there are some other options on the site if these aren't doing it for you. like i mentioned earlier, another great thingabout these louvers is the install. i'm not sure it can get any easier than this. you're looking at spending about a half hour,and i'm going to call it a one out of three wrenches on the scale, even though you won'tneed any tools to get this done. these come almost ready to install right outof the box. you will need to put some 3m tape on the backof these yourself.

the only other way this could get any easieris if they had the 3m tape pre-installed on the back already. to start the install, since these do installonto the window and not the body, you're going to want to make sure that the windows areas clean as possible. and i'm talking no bugs, no grime or any ofthat. once the window is clean, apply the 3m tapeto the backside of the louver. you're going to want to put the tape on theflat contact areas on the louver. after the tape is installed, remove all ofthe backing and line-up the louver with the window.

it might be easiest to line-up with the rearcorner of the glass first, and then line the louver up with the top trim while still holdingthe bottom corner away from the glass. then attach the bottom and front of the louverto the glass. you really only have one chance at liningthis up correctly, so just make sure you take your time. once everything is lined up, press firmlyon the louvers in the areas where the tape is touching the glass. you'll want to make sure that you create agood seal here. one other thing the mention here is that youshould allow the tape to adhere for 24 hours

before driving your car. if you don't let it set, the adhesion couldfail, and you could be looking at your louver taking flight. wrapping things up here, the street scenequarter window louvers are a different type of rear quarter window louver that have aslotted design. they aren't going to totally black the windowout, and they're very easy to install. they look great by themselves or paired withother mods. and they come in matte black, but they canbe paint-matched. they're going to work on all 2015 and up mustangs,and you can check them out more online right
