Got bored today so I painted the louvers and put them on. What do you think? Wasn't gonna use 'em at first guess they gotta grow on me.

 

I think louvers are ultra GAY, but that's my honest opinion. Some other people may like them. But you did do a nice job on the paint.

 

They look really funny. I have yet to see a car they look good on.

 

Hmm. I am not a fan but I too think you did a good job. It does help keep the car cool but I think it is a rx-7 trying to be a 80's camaro.

 

looks good

 

I take that back, they looked alright on my mom's 83 Supra.

 

My personal preference is for limo black on the rear hatch - easier to keep clean, more streamlined, etc. But that's my preference. What you like for your car is what matters. If you back away from your car when you leave her parked because you can't take your eyes off her, it doesn't matter if others like your louvers, or rims, or interior colours, or whatever

 

I used to have some on my car, looked pretty good with a black stock spoiler. I took them off to prep the car for racing and I have to say it does look a lot sleeker without them.

I traded them for a parts car this last weekend.

 

Most of the time i hate them but it looks clean on your car.

 

Where can you buy that stuff for an 85 GSL?

 

Check Ebay out. I saw a couple of sets on there recently.

 

Awesome , yea i just check jcwhitney and i can buy a custom made new one for $225

 

very 80s

 

Nice paint job but in my personal opinion the cars look a lot better without them.

 

damn looks good, i'm probably going tohave to paint mine at some point, what kinda paint did you use?

 

Krylon Rust Proof from Autozone!

 

I've had mine on since a few months after I bought the car in 1978, and have always loved them. I took them off to paint them a few years ago, and I relly like the way it looks with them a lot better than without. Plus, they make a huge difference in the interior temperature, and help keep the carpets and trim from fading.

i think they look pretty good, but how's rearward visibility? It doesn't seem like it would be all that great

by the way, you can by 'em in the victoria british catalog, plastic or metal

 

i dunno, i dont like them, but theyre 400x better than FC louvers. those are the ugliest things EVAR

 

Here's mine, er my son's car with louvers, the $10 price at Pick-A-Part made them all the better:

 

Not that bad once you get used to them being there.

 

never thought about that


derrr, me wetawded

 

They look old school, but not bad. The best looking car I ever saw with them was the 76 (?) Celica Hatchback... The one with the tail that looked like a sixties Mustang.

Second best is the 7.

 

Looks very nice, especially painted. Nice old school look.

 

well of course the Rx7 is a 80's vehicle so might as well sport it. Good job they look very clean! Compared to normal how much does it limit your rear vision?
