lol. As long as you get ones that are slotted you will be fine. I always look over my shoulder and it is still easy to tell if there is a car next to me. Plus, if adjusted correctly, the mirrors on our cars are awesome and cover all the blind spots anyway.



I got my Cervini's louvers on eBay for like $89, primed. They were the exact ones I have wanted and waited for years to get my hands on. I hate paying full price for stuff. I also got my Cervini's side scoops on eBay for $55 shipped, so I would look on there for hidden jewels.

no problem here either, got mine from Stage 3 Motorsports for 69.00, had a friend who owns a body shop paint them for free.

On my '82 5.0 I had rear louvers. Never had an issue seeing out the back. The Mustang I have now, I put SHR flush mount ¼ louvers on. I use my side mirrors and added a blind spot mirror to those, so no issues at all. I never have to turn my head back, just use the side mirrors.

You probably have as much - maybe even more - ability to see with those then we do with convertibles! There is a huge blind spot with the top up

I've had mine covered for months now with black construction paper (cut to the shape of the window, it actually looks like its supposed to be like that on the inside. I'm used to not having them.

Just cover them up for a while and see what it would be like.
