Default Your Opinions on Louvers

I am a new owner of a Mustang.
I'm considering adding louvres.
A search returned pages after pages of topics on louvres, but my A.D.D. prevents me from reading them all.
I would like your opinions on louvres, whether you have them or not.
But better that you have them.

1. Any visual limitation for the driver? If so how much?
2. Easy to install (not referring to the flush-mounts, as I'm NOT going with that)? Removal?
3. Overall impression?

Thank you!

I'm waiting to get my Cervinis 1/4 louvers on in the spring, those are more of a scoop than a louver as you can't see out of them. But I must say, that I think our cars are bare without some sort of 1/4 window louver on them.

Installation of mine and most is fairly easy, all that is needed is some 3m double sided auto tape, just make sure they are lined up right before commiting tape to window.

They look great. The side windows are easy to put on. The mrt rear window louvers take a little longer but its worth it.

I have the roush louvers on my car and personally I question weather I like them or not everyday. same with my cervini's spoiler. there is a slight limitation in sight but it really doesnt affect you driving wise. If you think they look good than go for it, the installation on all of them should be super easy except for the silver horse one's, those require a bit more skill. but yeah. It's totally up to you though, I probably just think things over WAY to much.

merdix9, I like your louvers.
The thing I like about louvers is that they enhance the slope of the roof line.
They not only make the car look retro but also tough.

that is true, I guess what makes me not want to have louvers is seeing how good some peoples cars look without them such as CAUTION, or STANGSKELETON.

I have the Roush louvers and really like them. At a cruise last summer I saw a few
cars with them and couldn't wait to get mine. I think the car looks a little bare
without the louvers. The scoops are cool too.

The thing that makes it hard is I have seen some cars that look awesome with them, and some that look terrible. I don't know what it is about them, maybe they look good with other mods, but not good plain.

I am still undecided on them yet.

I saw a white GT for sale with scoops ( window and side) Awesome !!!
I plan on doing that on my white GT when I get one. I saw a red GT in a parking lot last
night. No mods....kinda plain.....and dirty.

The Roush louvers are my favorites. Santa brought me a set but I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. I'm a little worried I won't like losing some of my vision through the quarter windows but the only way to tell will be to put 'em on and try 'em out. If I decide I don't like them I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem selling them to someone else. I'm hoping to get them on later this week.
