The rear window louver will be my next mod, but I'm not sure which is best.

Why MRT of course!! LOL!

Actually I like the MRT look and the fact that they are hinged... yes, occasionally I even give he rear window a good scrubing! LOL! BTW... that "Invisible Glass" cleaner stuff is amazing!!!

Do you have a link for them? On my old GT I had hinged louvers too.....I loved them! Like you, I would clean the back glass off too. Is the MRT plastic?
I feel the louvers gives the car that '69 classic look as well as help save the interior from fading. Plus it helps keep the car cooler inside on hot sunny days.

(http://www.stangmods.com/MRT-Rear-Window-Louvers-for-05-06-p/00284-mrt3011.htm)and another site offering the same one but for less money, i e-mailed mrt to see if they would price match it but never got a reply:

Don't even think about plastic unless you can get your hands on a Parnelli Jones rear louver. I have the aluminum Astra Hammonds ...

Too each their own ... but I have seen several non-black cars with black 1/4 window louvers ... and it just doesn't look right to me ... body color all the way ...

yea i kno thats what i was told, but i'll have the bra in the front and the louvers and later the body stripes to match that of a boss 302 :-) and then the engine, once the warranty goes out the window lol

thanks and ......................sorry man about your ride, it usualy happens to us who drive carefully and totally unexpected, especially when u have the light to go and a car comes out of nowhere, its the worse.....hope they give u a brand new mustang, would hate to have a messed record on such an amazing new car. Good Luck ;-)

The rear louvers from Stang Modsare more....$429 Vs $399 from MRT. I definitely like the Aluminum ones better.

Ouch! Hurts to look at those poor wrecked ponies! Damn!
Has anyone considered flush mount louvers?
Labor to install them is a bit more intensive but they really look fantastic to me!
Have a look.

I love the flush mounts though.

Right, I was talking about edgespeeder's ride/comment regarding side louvers.
I wonder what flush mount rear window louvers would look like though? ;-)

I like that 3dcarbon u trim piece....looks pretty cool. May be a waste of money though. Havent decided.

I agree those flush mount louvers lookgreat. I didnt really want louvers, until I just saw these. They look more like the original 1966 Mustang fastback louvers to me.

How hard to install ? Is there still some decent visibility, anybody have any pics from inside the car to show how they look from inside ???

I'm a fan of Cervini's scoops as far as looks.

im curious how long it'll take for me to get it if i order it monday? side louvers are being shipped tuesday so i was hoping around the same time, as to not give the ups guy some much work lol

Nah, I prefer aluminum. Does yours hinge? At one time I saw them on Amazon for a great price.

edgespeeder06

i think only mrt's hinge, otherwise i would've gotten those which i saw on amazon for a good price

Hey! Now that's a unique idea! Looks good on your car. I'd only dred the newblind spots!Whew!
I do like the contrast of the black on yellow!
I am thinking of the same contrast. Black on vista blue will look really good! But I'm stickin with the flush mount side louvers. I love that design and look! Rear louver will be the last think I consider.
I might just go with tinting only.

yup i was thinkin of gettin them from them since the shipping was less. and i guess i will. ..................................................



yea the side louvers are nice but im not going to attempt to put them on just yet, rather try my luck at slotted side louvers for now

I like the design too.....makes the side look more like the '69 Mustang.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the blind spot......I don't use that window to look out of anyway. That's what my side mirrors are for, plus I have a blind spot mirror on my side mirrors. After driving around in a Truck all day longwith no back windows, you get used to using your side mirrors.

Hey edgespeeder06, where did you see that design? I ran across one last night that was on a red Mustang, but I can't find the link.

edgespeeder06
06-25-2007, 10:18 PM
hey yea so to confirm cervinis has the same rear louver as mrt just comes out less with shipping......... the blind spot isnt as much since we have square mirrors compared to my gf's 03 with round mirrors, at least her's is convertible



and that side lourve was from http://cervinis.com/product.aspx?car=1&id=1208 its on a white mustang, doesnt look as great, i think it would looked great on mine lol or a colored stang, but im getting these first http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DG-3180 unpainted and to be painted satin black to match the rear one, in hopes of later upgrading to that cervinis one, once others have tried and have given reviews on it
