ummmm, no.

the side panels must be horizontal or it f*cks up the car's linear form,imHo.

VISUS

how about this one preacher.... smoothed them out a bit

Preacher

better.
now,thinner rear strips and wrap it into one piece,also add body color,not 'old school' powder-coated black,imo.

If they get wrapped I'd need to make a die for each slat..
and at 2000 each that could get very expensive.

I'll try a rendering though

VISUS

here goes....
This way could still be less expensive..by wrapping down

I don't like it one bit.

all of those versions are just plain ugly

Kudos on coming up with a new product. It does sort of remind me of my '86 Iroc Z but I'll tell ya, out here in Phx I bet those do the job keeping the sun out of the car. I wonder what they'd look like painted to match the car? Still, thumbs up for trying something new.

If you have no rear spoiler, try tinting the window. I think it will look better than that.

I have the spolier AND windows are being tinted @ 50% as we speak.
I don't WANT louvers,but I enjoy messing in photoslop now and then.

that's straight up nasty

It actually looks pretty good on the pics of the mustangs you posted. Thats primarily due to the angle of the shots as well as the fact that they are one piece wrap-around, as opposed to those three piece ones which are plain ugly.

For what it is worth, I liked them in the 80's when they made my 70's car look more modern.

But on the '8 - I'm sorry, it just doesn't do it for me. Nice work with photoflop though!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Interesting idea, but not for me, thanks.

I loved the louvers on my 280ZX turbo, and even though I think it is a dated look, if I had that car now (or a first gen 7) I would get louvers. However, it is not working for me on an 8. Maybe it would look better on a current Z or Celica or RSX.

Sure, in the 80s they did. But since then, they invented window tint!

Sorry, I have to agree with those who said they're too '80s - that's why they were on lots of 1st gen RX-7s. Even in the 80s, I never liked them - although I thought they were OK on the Lamborghini Miura, which was probably the first car ever to use them (introduced in the 60s).
