but seriously, why do you need to look out that window?, between the rear view and the side mirror you'll see if anyone is along side you trailing alittle

It's not really while driving down the road that I'm worried about. I look out mine every time I'm backing out of a parking spot (which for me is alot). For the last few days I've consciously tried NOT to look out my quarters in prep for putting the louvers on and it's going to be hard losing that window I think. We'll see.

QFT. I really don't even use the quarter windows unless I'm backing out. That's when you have to be careful because you can't see to your sides very well. But during normal driving you can see behind you through them. Of course, I also have bubble mirros, so I rarely look through them.

I can see through my louvers enough to tell if there's a car in my blindspot.

I just got my flush mount louvers installed and I love them. I got the ones from SHR and I have very little obstruction from the product.

I like all the louvers I have seen, especially with side scoops. I have my 1/4 windows blacked out pretty well with tint and I like the nice clean look of it. I'm trying to stick with the "Eleanor look".....and she didn't have window louvers.

Just my personal opinion, I like the look of our cars without the louvres. I don't think visibility is much of an issue; you don't see much out of those windows anyway.

EBR I love your car... it reminds me of the same paint job I had on my last car mixed with chrome and a body kit... that GT is smokin hot.

I don't know about you guys but I find myself using my quarters aLOT in traffic and while backing up. Traffic is easier with them since my last car has so big of a blind spot on either side. With the mustang it's ALOT better. I can actually SEE out the back and with the additional view from the quarters, it eliminates any doubt when I have to make a quick lane change. On the back from SD, driving during the busy hours back home it's easy to just glance over your shoulder and bust a move to get out of your lane to avoid a potential idiot case accident waiting to happen (someone cutting you off going about 30mph slower). Peripheral vision while looking at your mirror then a quick double check with a half turn of the head over the shoulder and you are good to go. If I get any louvers for my windows it's going to have to be SHR louvers... even with how much more expensive they may be. To me, being able to glance into what would be a blindspot if covered, is important to me when driving and having to make a quick decision. Especially so when you only have about a couple of yards to react to an accident in front of you.

i have the cervinis louvers and i love them...the install was easy just make sure that you put them on when its warm outside this will help them fit to your car,and stick better.mine are made not to be removed, as far as the visibillity goes i never used that window any way so i didnt notice a difference after i put them on.
a lot of people have the roush louvers. theyare nice bc thay can be removed to clean the window and you can buy them pre painted i didnt get them though bc it wasnt the look that i wanted. all in all though i love my cervinis louvers though. i wouldnt trade 'em
