Default Blind Spot

I was just wondering, do the window louvers make it harder for the driver to see his blind spots? I was thinking about getting the Roush Window Louvers, but i wasnt sure if you couldnt see the blind spots when theyre on...

yes they do make for a bigger blind spot but you get used to it pretty quick . it is most problematic when backing up. you just have to be more careful. when going foward and switching lanes you just adjust your mirrow to compensate.

At first, but the slots are big enough where you can see thru them.

yes, I only have to go slower when backing out of a parking space. Don't do enough parallel parking to say if it's harder now.
Here's the view out the back with mine from wheelskin.com:
