Old detailer trick. Use 0000 steel wool to scrub and polish the glass. It will not scratch and makes the glass look new. Then clay bar and glass cleaner. Been doing this for years. Hope this helps. Louvers look great.
I just put these on my Camaro yesterday also!!! Mine didn't come with instructions or the metal nuts. I didn't know what to do with the foam tape... Now I do. Thank you for the awesome video!!! Wish I could show you my car!
I have a black camaro too. That in itself is a hard task so adding one more thing shouldn't be to bad but ill find out when I put this on my car tomorrow.
@@dabullil323 I was given some 3m glue but it doesn't tell me where to put it seeing how it didn't come with instructions. If you could give me a hint that would be awesome!
I just purchased mine but it's for my E90 I seen one in New York last year took me a year just to purchase one I can't wait till to see what mine looks like should be arriving in Connecticut and by next Saturday or this Saturday coming up your video was very informative thank you very much have a blessed day
I watched your video and then figured out a much easier way to do the entire install and entirely without any helper. Came out perfect. I only wish I had video recorded my installation to show how easy it can be done alone.
I really wanted Maplefed to say in a lowered voice, "I'm Batman" when you asked him what he thought of them. Personally, I've never been a fan of louvers, but they look pretty decent on Maplefed's car especially with that ZL1 wing.
You're my go to RUclips camaro guy you, explain in details. My x-mas gift was side black carbon louvers on my black camaro, so i just purchased ikon black carbon for the rear I'm excited for the new look.
I do like these more than other 6th gen. I had louvers on my 5th gen, from MRT (Mustang Racing Tech of all places lol). What was great about those, that they where aluminum, and they hinged at the top, so you could open them up and clean under them at a car wash or anywhere. I cant seem to find that anymore. I wonder when MRT or if they decide to make them for the 6th gen.
It's really easy. All you have to do is unscrew all the bolts and take them off and leave the mounting plates on the window. Wash it and put it back on.
OK, People who buy these louvers, here are two extra steps that will make this a largely painless install that you won't have to immediately go and fix: 1) BUY ADHESION PROMOTER. 3M sells this, and it is advisable that you not only coat the brack BEFORE you put the double sided tape on, but you also thoroughly clean your window with neutral alcohol and then treat the area also with adhesion promoter. 2) SEAL YOUR BRACKETS. Whether you use Gorilla Glue tape or the included 3M tape, you MUST seal them with RTV clear silicone to ensure that your brackets stay waterproof and in turn don't end up peeling. As a final note, something that few videos and none of the included instructions clue you in on: All adhesives need cure time in order to properly bond to its surface. Guess what injures that process: putting your heavy louver onto the car and screwing it into the mounts before the adhesion has properly cured. In fact, as you see in the video, the resistance of the louver was pulling the double sided tape up even before it had time to cure. Mount the brackets ONE DAY before screwing in the louver for good. Let the adhesive have time to cure and you will get the absolute best results.
Bro, that launch was amazing, what parts did you use to get that sound? I'm planning on getting a project camaro, just waiting for one to be cheap enough.
Question, I love the look that louvers gives especially to a darker colored car. With that said, I have a 2019 Camaro I've been thinking about adding louvers to BUT I live in Florida and it gets hot as balls here. Would the adhesive melt off and send the louvers flying or falling off the car? Especially if I park in direct sunlight?
@Lethal How do those blacked out tail lights look on the black SS in person? I've been trying to decide for months whether or not to get them on my black 2SS. I did get the blacked out third tail light which looks so much better, it's just something about those black tail lights look tacky on the black Camaro. I can't decide. They do look good on white!
They say 155.00 on there web site but I was charged 229.00, and they don"t answer the phones. I"m sending these back and telling them to stick it ! look on ebay same thing 149.00
I followed all the same instructions and when I screw the louver to the mounting plates they got ripped off the glass. I needed to have one guy push down on the plastic while I screwed in the bolt since the screw is so short and as soon as we got the screw to thread it pulled it right off the glass.
Hey just wanted to say thanks for the videos they are great and what is the brand or link to the high wing on the black camaro If you could help me it would be great Thanks
I noticed your white Camaro has an aftermarket spoiler while your black one has a wing, without knowing too much about each specific car, which do you think is more effective in terms of keeping the car planted? Im trying to decide weather I want a wing or spoiler, I think the bigger spoilers look better but I question how effective they really are in comparrison to just getting a wing
Been a subscriber for a while like all your content I think the louvers look really well on the car because it's a black car with black louvers to be honest I think the wing is just a little too tall ricer wing just keep the Fart Can off the car LOL keep the videos coming matt
LethalGarage thanks for your reply! I’m looking at a set of these for my car and it looked more like they were a matte finish on the website. Thanks for making this video. Install seems like a breeze. Might have to paint mine, too.

It does! Thank you!
I just bought some Ikon louvers for my 86 and installed them today with the help of this video--thanks for sharing.

This looks awesome 👏🏽 High maintenance as far as cleaning 🧼 It’s a task. If you’re up for it then get the Louver.
I have a black camaro too. That in itself is a hard task so adding one more thing shouldn't be to bad but ill find out when I put this on my car tomorrow.
cleaning the window underneath is gonna take a few extra steps but it think it looks pretty good black on black.
was there just too much visibility in that camaro?
Lmao
Lmfao
I had louvers on my '79 trans am and then one day they just flew off while on the freeway
This is literally my fear lol
Tim Oconnell u should have use 3m glue with it lol
@@dabullil323 I was given some 3m glue but it doesn't tell me where to put it seeing how it didn't come with instructions. If you could give me a hint that would be awesome!
Me too same car lol
I had the same louvers on my 1LT, loved them. I'm putting them on my LT1 in the next couple weeks
Will they blow off ?
How do you see out of there
@@koonyeezy6433it doesn’t effect visibility i promise lol
I just purchased mine but it's for my E90 I seen one in New York last year took me a year just to purchase one I can't wait till to see what mine looks like should be arriving in Connecticut and by next Saturday or this Saturday coming up your video was very informative thank you very much have a blessed day

Did you put the one sided sticky foam on before or after and what can you tell me to do solo please

Black on black is such a cool look on these camaros
You're my go to RUclips camaro guy you, explain in details. My x-mas gift was side black carbon louvers on my black camaro, so i just purchased ikon black carbon for the rear I'm excited for the new look.
I actually liked it. It is very stylish!
Hey brother, dope ride man! Was wondering where you got your wing from? Man beautiful car tho🔥🔥🔥

I am not much of a louver guy but I must say they look sick love them :)
I think the look is good. Been wanting to do this to my camaro. Thanks for sharing.
Great clip Matt. Probably a fairly polarizing mod for most but it looks good on that black Zamboni.
A clean pure surface. That’s exactly what I said I was looking for on my wedding night to my new wife 😂
I think these look awesome! Much better than the ones on my 85 IROC!
I've always been a fan of louvers. Something madmax meets sexy vibe
Thanks for the video! I was on the right track, but would have put my single sided tape in the wrong place if I hadn’t watched your video!
Have you had to deal with it rattling at high speeds?
So, to clean the window, you have to remove the louver?
Correct
It's really easy. All you have to do is unscrew all the bolts and take them off and leave the mounting plates on the window. Wash it and put it back on.

You know there is a point where you can put to much junk on your car. Best part of this video was that launch at the end. THAT WAS BADASS.
this helped me so much with installing louvers on my car! thank you!
That looks so good I always loved the louvers I want to get some for mine now 😍😍
What paint finish is the spoiler in? looks amazing.
kinda wanted to get one myself, just not too sure how it'll look with nightfall grey
where did you get your trunk wing? do they cover op the existing holes? thanks rob
I feel dirty for wanting these for the ZL1.
Bro, that launch was amazing, what parts did you use to get that sound? I'm planning on getting a project camaro, just waiting for one to be cheap enough.
Looks great !! How is the visibility while driving?
Please show how it looks from the inside. Curious on how much you can see through that rear window. Thanks. Great video Buddy and BEAUTIFUL CAMARO!
@@petercarrillo5095 these came off the car about 5 1/2 years ago. Can’t show anything anymore :(
How is it when it gets really hot? The double sided tapes don’t peel?
Didn't have any issues.
Question, I love the look that louvers gives especially to a darker colored car. With that said, I have a 2019 Camaro I've been thinking about adding louvers to BUT I live in Florida and it gets hot as balls here. Would the adhesive melt off and send the louvers flying or falling off the car? Especially if I park in direct sunlight?
Have you got anything to fit a x type jaguar plz
I’ve been searching for the gloss black and all I see is the unpainted black. Do they still carry the gloss black?
They don’t offer a gloss black
I think they look great on a SS 1LE but looks like it's tough to clean 😬, with a wickerbill looks sweet!!
+David E yes, very hard to clean
To me louvers always felt like a Mustang thing Matt but hey it doesn't look terrible. I do like the ZL1 1LE wang though ;)
Psycho_ Camaro ACS Composite has it on their site. ZL1 1LE wing
Im guessing yes but just to be sure, do they fit 2019+ maros
They’ll fit perfectly.
I’ve always wondered how the visibility would be like
If u don’t have a backup camera don’t get it cuz seeing out the back windows is gone
Same
Have you had issues with the louver flying off?
It does look good with the theme of his car.
The link provided in the description is out of stock and doesn't look gloss black. Says it's unpainted. How did you order a painted gloss black one ?
You mentioned using single sided tape, as you did in the vid, but what mm did you us? It almost looked like thin weather stripping.
Did these sit on top of the window or did it sink in next to the paint and sorta snap onto the window.
@Lethal How do those blacked out tail lights look on the black SS in person? I've been trying to decide for months whether or not to get them on my black 2SS. I did get the blacked out third tail light which looks so much better, it's just something about those black tail lights look tacky on the black Camaro. I can't decide. They do look good on white!
Do these louver for camaro 5th gen rattle? I hear complaints about louvers on 5th gen camaro . Please help?

Hey on the louvers ikon, what do they price at, and are they painted
brian greer $249.99
They say 155.00 on there web site but I was charged 229.00, and they don"t answer the phones. I"m sending these back and telling them to stick it ! look on ebay same thing 149.00
What kind of spoiler on the black camaro?
Did you have to drill holes in the louvers?
NEED HELP!!!!
Clicked the link on the site and it shows it cost $73.99 is that the actual price?
that louver it's look like on your video or do i have to paint it first?
Have to paint it
What wing do you have on your camaro
I followed all the same instructions and when I screw the louver to the mounting plates they got ripped off the glass. I needed to have one guy push down on the plastic while I screwed in the bolt since the screw is so short and as soon as we got the screw to thread it pulled it right off the glass.
Where can I get a louver like that from
I put window louvers on the small ones
as well
LethalGarage do you know a site a can get a carbon fiber front splitter for a 2014 Camaro LS?
can the Louvers handle the auto car wash?
yes but may break still, pretty easy to take off still!
@lethalgarage where do i get the glossy finish louvers, all i can fnd is matte black?
Hey just wanted to say thanks for the videos they are great and what is the brand or link to the high wing on the black camaro If you could help me it would be great Thanks
6LEDESIGNS

How long does it take to cure?

Looks cool what is I for

Where did you get this spoiler????
Nice! Let me know if and when you want to shoot a vid of the Krypton Dragon! Good vid, as always!
Beast Mode 💪💪💪👍
Thanks for the video. Big help!
Do you have to have them painted prior to install?
+Kevin Tawes yes, they were painted gloss black
Ikon had them painted
Anyone know where i can get the sticky pads i bought the louver but it didnt come with it
Where you buy the spoiler!!!!!
too bad i have a backscreen wiper. anyone know if it fits anyway?

The wing is useless on a SS
@@Lethalgarage Good to know!
From the inside how does it look
What spoiler is that? Could I get for for my 2017 lt? Omg it's gorgeous! Definitely wanna do the louvers too
Marco Rodriguez it's the zle 1le spoiler.
Nice video my guy! What type of paint did you use to paint your louvers?
They painted it for me.
Been a subscriber for a while like all your content I think the louvers look really well on the car because it's a black car with black louvers to be honest I think the wing is just a little too tall ricer wing just keep the Fart Can off the car LOL keep the videos coming matt
Looks Great! Looks good on that car and color
Is there another way to put it on without using 3m tape ? Like the sticking ain’t gonna last, we all know that
I miss seeing work on the Lethal Camaro!
Did it come painted already when you order it off ikon Motorsport?
Daisy Barajas they come a flat black out of the box ur in charge of painting them
Looks pretty sick!
Your literally just like me when it comes to installing parts , like who needs instructions? LOL
Sick btw
Site says it’s unpainted so is it matte black? Because yours look like gloss black.
Yup, mine was painted
Did they come that glossy color or did you paint them? Looks great!
Had them painted
LethalGarage thanks for your reply! I’m looking at a set of these for my car and it looked more like they were a matte finish on the website. Thanks for making this video. Install seems like a breeze. Might have to paint mine, too.
Did you add the glue to the metal tabs also?
We did not, but you can
@@Lethalgarage ok thanks
Oh !!!no more computer :) but still love the channel.
Looks badass!
+Cooper Perrin :)
Your outro of you pulling off has me jealous asf lol
How you going to see out the window?
What type of camero ?
Looks nice
