Default Plastic rear window louvers installed ...

I wasn't gonna even bother with the plastic rear louvers since the aluminum ones look better. However, I was in Mustangs Unlimited today and they had a set on clearance in the show room for $169 ... so I figured what the heck. They do a great job of darkening the inside of the car. I'll leave these on to see how I like them and probably get an aluminum set one day ...

How's the view out the back?
Do they make noise when you go over the bumps in the road?
You really outta think about either painting them yellow or painting the side window covers black. Something just doesn't look right in the pic..

You can still see out the back ... they had felt all the way around and are snug when installed so there is no rattling or noise. I'm just gonna leave as is for now ... they look better from some angles than others ... if you have the cash the aluminum are definitely the way to go. I just found out JCWhitney has the metal ones for $399 with free shipping ....

Yea save up for the aluminum one and paint it the same black color as your spoiler, that'll look much better. For now the one you have is good cuz you can get used to it and decide if you want the aluminum one.
