Rear window louvers

[turtle5353]

Hey guys, I was just wondering who is all running the rear window louvers? I think that is going to be my next purchase for the mustang. I saw a decent set from Summit racing that are aluminum. Also if you are running them post up a few pics and where you purchased them. Thanks Kevin

I bought a set of 80's vintage made by Cragar on eBay a couple of years ago.

Not me... I can't find a set that fold!

Were the rear window louvers ever a factor or dealer option for our cars? Also I imagine the louvers would block the little rear view that we have, although they do look good.

Nope...aftermarket only.

When I had the Mach 1 I had a set but the car got wrecked before I put them on. I sold them. I like the look and back in those days (mid to late 80's) they were popular on all kinds of cars. Seems like they are less popular now a days.

It's your car! If you want them I say 'go for it'. They would look good with your silver/black color combo.

Personally, the visibility out the rear window of my '71 Mach is terrible enough that I don't need anything more to interfere with it. Just something to consider...

LOL interfere with what:huh: Its just a matter of preference, some like them some don't, personally I do.

see that looks pretty good. Remember the camero's that had the big louvers and plastic kinda things on the side... not good.

I wish they'd contour to the window a little better. I don't like that gap near the bottom.

I really dont either but my trunk will open without hitting them

Thanks for the input guys. I think they look really good on Roys car, so they should look ok on mine too. Where did you get yours from Roy?

I am completetly torn..I really like the throwback look of the louvers, but then again I really like the dealership floor look. I always planned on getting a set, but just can't bring myself to dropping $300+ and then maybe decide that I don't like them and then have to ebay them.

I do think that the Mach 1's are one of the only cars that louvers really look good on!

So, I am of absolutetly no use to you!!

I like them and will have them on my car.

I couldn't agree more......I like them so I added them....and yes, my rear spoiler has been turned around correctly lol

I abstained from the vote--I have an OE set of louvers on my '69, which I love the look on, nice curved edges, solidly built, hefty hinges and hold downs. However, I will NOT install a set on my '72 as I don't like the angular design and cheesy hinges of the louvers you get for '71-73's. Just my opinion though--I don't have a problem with those that do install them. I am sure some think the ones on my '69 look bad.

Different car different design

Could you tell me where you purchased your louvers and do you still have them on your car...still like them...any negatives on having them? Thanks!
