No idea. The louvers sometimes look good on cars with a flat hatch. Due to the concave shape of the fc's hatch, I think the louvers on them look as gay as... well... it just looks gay.

Good luck. haha. I've got 3 sets and it took literally YEARS to get them. 2 of them I found local (tampa area, FL), the 3rd i had shipped from las vegas. They're out there, just keep looking!

There are some made by astra-hammond, new, for.. $250 i think? But they look nothing like the finish line mazda ones. I'll see if i can find pics

Why anyone wants these is beyond me, they are hideous (although effective). So unless you are delivering ice cream in fl, in your fc just let Landon have them all.

this thread just reminded me of how much i hate the look of the FC louvers. window tint is effective and IMO adds to the styling of the cars.

i would also tint the side windows but since the car is being sold and going back to cali and it's illegal there i guess just the hatch will have to do.

I don't normally do this...but...
I had some, briefly...the amount of time it took to remove them from an FC @ PnP, install on my FC in said PnP parking lot (cuz they wouldn't fit inside it, LOL), drive home (and then sell on CL for profit), a grand total of about 3-4 hours...

That being said they do lower the interior temps, IMMEDIATELY (I was very surprised, LOL). But they NEED to be gel-coated...BIG TIME. And if they're old and saggy (does anybody like anything old and saggy??!)...like a couple posted above... NO. Plz, NO.

IMHO, they make FC's look VERY "dated" (VERY '80's, LOL). I'd never rock them on my FC. But, to each, his own...

Lastly, and in all seriousness- don't let the dissenting opinions of others discourage you! If you like 'em, ROCK 'EM!

hatch shades slats Mazda Finish Line ABS Savanna 86'

Just acquired a set of louvers for my '86.
If anyone has installation instructions I could use them.
Probably will figure it out as they don't look too complicated and have looked at mustang louver site.

I have a set for my 10th anniversary edition and while some people do not like them I think they work on that specific model. They absolutely give it that 80s look.
