I have the metal louvers and from inside you can't see them. There's no loss of rearward vision. The metal louvers have a much thinner profile.
+1 on the Aluminum rear louvers. I love them, and they really don't reduce your visibility bc of their low visual horizontal profile. BUT I *had* them on until they started rattling like a diamondback. Since then they've been sitting in the box for over 12 mos, after paying $400+ for them.
If I could do it again, I'd buy the ABS plastic model. I really need to get them to a welder.
BTW, both the Astra Hammond and MRT aluminum rear louvers are the same, and are made by an third party.
Of course, I'm sure your height has a lot to do with it, too!
But honestly, I really don't see mine as I see the louvers edge-on from the inside.
Well I'm 5'11" so I guess we'll have to see My mother had just driven my Mustang around the block, thats why my profile pic looks like the seat is all the way up, she's only 5'4" lol

I'm just under 6 feet myself, so you should have the same visibility I have.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Thanks. And for what it's worth...
Installed them this evening, too dark to take pics. Will try and post back tomorrow after I clean the car up. They look alot better mounted.
My aluminum ones are Astro Hammond.
Saw a post a couple days ago somewhere, they said that the Astro Hammond and the MRT are the same. However, looking at the picture above...the red car....they are definately NOT the same.
I'm getting side louvers for mine. Talked to a body shop stanger from way back, and he said they had a hard time keeping the rear louvers on the 60's cars at a high rate of speed back in the day.
