First time to post in a long time. put my original louvers on the back and really like the look. not seeing anyone with pics posted. does anyone use these anymore
or are they hard to find or why not one flashing the old school look?

 

I think the louvers look great. They have been tough to find for quite some time though. I think if a company was still producing and marketing them for a reasonable price, more people would have them.

 

Dressing your car up is a personal choice. It's your car, I'd do what you like. Louvers were fairly popular back in the day on several different vehicles. Many probably perished along with the cars they were attached too over the years. They are just a bolt on item so if you want to change back, its not that big of a deal.

 

Louvers, like RWL tires or front bras or targa bands are a fashion item. Its all up to what you like.

 

I like them because they gave 100% shade unlike tint which just filters sunlight.

I took them off because so much dust gathered under them and they rattled all the time on the highway.

 

No, ugly thing of the past that should never re-surface... like the mullet haircut!

 

Not a fan, but they capture the essence of the 70s and early 80s.

 

I have louvers that I would send off for free if anyone interested. Hit me up its just in the garage

 

Sent you a pm

 

They are easy to find...there is a company called SFX Performance that sell them...rear hatch and sides...

 

How do you go about cleaning the rear glass with louvres? I like them but always wondered

 

They're in the same category as vinyl roofs -- something from the '70s that should be left there. Awful!

 

The ones I had were hinged at the top and the bottom had locking pins, there were little prop rods with rubber boots to hold it up.

 

Here's my 85 SE

 

Hello, do you still have the louvers? email me at jetjilescraft@gmail.com

 

I like

 

As said, it's a personal taste thing. I personally have never like them on any car, but they are a period-correct accessory and we are dealing with a classic car here, so... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Someone mentioned vinyl roofs and I gotta say I LOVE vinyl roofs, if period correct. I had a '67 Cougar, white with black vinyl roof and Ive loved them ever since. They trap water, but look so "upscale" on a '60's or '70's car.

 

Yup, they even gave it a posh name: Landau roof. lol. Matched with "Corinthian" leather interior. Even better with the swirly "coachwork" detail.

 

Definitely. On 1st gens especially, I think they add a dynamic touch to the rear design, and enhance the profile.

 

with a wing they look dope, without one they look ugly,
