I think they look awesome!!!
Haven't found too many pictures of the rear window louvers, glad you posted. I would love to see some in person. I just ordered a set of the Astro Hammond Aluminum ones this weekend. Can't wait to get them, not getting my hopes up until I have them on the car for a test fit and sit back and gander for a bit.

Yours look really good, what did the painting cost you??

I've always liked them, they give the Stang that vintage look from the 60's & 70's. I personally won't get them on mine mainly because of the reduced rearward vision. I will get the quarter window louvers, I think they look hot! *Maybe next week I'll get them for my car. Anyway, nice pics and thanks for sharing. They do look awesome.

Mine is from Autoaccessories4less.com.
ABS (So they need painted) but fit was really good and the quality was great in my book.
No complaints whatsoever on that issue.

My son is RatStang at http://ratstangrestoration.com/ so the labor was nada.
Just supply cost.
He had primer and clear.
Paint was like 20 bucks for the base (1 pint).
Otherwise would have been like 80 bucks in supplies.
He does quality work and uses quality paints.

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.

Yeah baby...that's where I ordered mine from, for Luci, just last weekend. Seeing them on your ride is making me even happier about the purchase -- they look perfect, pure Old School!

Any issues or quirks with the install that you'd like to share?

Thks for the pix!

Thumbs up

They look great man. I want that for my stang but I haven't found any priced under 400 bucks and to me its not worth that much. 150-200 is a fair price but thats imo. Nice lookin stang man!

Oh that's pretty cool, I was just judging from the pics on top. Plus a freind has basicly the same ones. I'll have to check into the metal louvers, I bet they would look pretty good. Thanks

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.
