I took my louver off few months ago to do something and one of the clips at the top broke off and it leaves a little space where water and ice get in and pop it up so I used it as a tester to try painting completely black like the car body it actually comes out really well. When painting it outside though something flew onto a spot of the paint and messed it up. I used paint stripper to redo it and it never looked same again. Between the messed up spot from paint stripper and the broken clip I figured it was time to get a new one. It was $106.00 shipped if I remember right.
