Seen this on my rss feeds. I'm no fb guy but I do have a louver for the back window and I believe it's in great shape too. Some guy local was throwing it out and offered it on craigslist so I went and grabbed it. I've had it stored for over a year. It's stored at my father-in-laws in a shipping box. If interested, let me know.

i have louvers on my 84, its definitely a love hate relationship, i drove a week with them on and a week with them off, i like it both ways is my problem
personally i think the mariah hatch is so legit, i have never seen something like that before and it looks so good, if you want to spend 1200 and have that to burn i say go for it, but you could just get some louvers and with the money you save get some wheels or exhaust as well, its your car and money so do what you like

I have spent $850 just on a fiberglass hood for my truck lol.
I have a full exhuast, wheels/tires, suspension, and several other mods already.

love the braaaap
IMO louvers are very 80's styling and fit with the car, but the Mariah hatch just screams fast to me and looks great with accompanying widebody or Mariah mode 4 body parts.

Before you paint it - make sure you add a rear wing to "balance it out".

IMHO, the Mariah hatch looks fine from the outside (though I question its aerodynamics - - looks like a vacuum pocket generator to me) but I'm not impressed with the way it looks from inside the car, and it seems by design to eliminate both a ton of visibility to the rear quarters, and most of the useful space in the rear hatch area.
Driver visibility and carrying capacity have always been two of my favorite things about the first gen. My lil' '80 is far superior to my 350Z in both categories.

The hatch can look good if put on a widebody and painted the right color IMO. I am looking towards getting the plastic louvers with the side window louvers but have never researched them. I suppose they might break and aren't as good as aluminum ones.
