Rear window.

Just got louvers for the rear window, they look sleek IMO.

Who likes them?

Who dislikes them?

I personally do not like them, but they might help with carpet fading which would be a good thing.

I love them...I think they look good (some don't), and they REALLY help keep the interior heat down.

64mgb, where'd you find that rear end, mainly the plastic between the lights?? I've never seen one with that setup.

I don't remember...I put it on 25 years ago! I like the light, but I hate the black plastic piece.

I like them, but I sold my set. It wasnt going to work with the plans I have with the car. Rich, you get those pics up yet? Cant wait to get the rest of that thing put together. Where do I get more of those sanding "discs" you let me have? I may start on a wheel.

What about something to cover the quarter windows, something that'll match the louvered rear window???

What about mirror tint on the moon roof, quarter widows, and rear window??

I would like to mention here that VB sells ABS plastic ones. The ones I had were metal. Not sure which one would be better for each situation. Either way they are black and if you touched them in the summer on a sunny day there would be a mark left. Not sure where I was going with this, but yeah... I need sleep. Work sucked

I have a Mariah hatch, and I dislike the louvered slots it has on the sides.

Sorry, but Louvers = miniblinds.
