Default Sight line through Roush side window louvers?

Once these window louvers are installed, do you have any kind of line of sight by glancing backwards from the driver's seat? It's my habit when driving to do a quick glance over my shoulder before changing lanes to the left and I'm wondering if I'd be able to see anything in my blind spot if it were there with these louvers on the car? Thanks.

The one I drove didn't give you a complete view outside that particular window but I could still see if a vehicle was there or not.

I thought I had a pic of those ones but can't find it...

Here are mine, from Wheelskin:http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merch...t_Code=DG-3180

The others are the Silverhorse Racing ones:

I'm pretty sure these offer the best views

I have the Roush Louvers and my first question to you is how do you even see that window from the driver's seat???? I found it WAY too much work and that looking out the door window is much easier on the neck.....But seriously, I drive in Phoenix rush hour every day with them....Took a little while to get used to looking out the passenger side (took a little while to get used to the car in general), but I got the car with the louvers so I don't know the difference....but you can see through them enough that you can still drive just fine...

Side windows are useless.

I can't see much through that window even w/o louvers on there but a glance back is enough to let me know if there's traffic in my blind spot or not. I like the Roush ones the best out of all the ones I've seen but if I can't even see a partial blob of a vehicle that might be there it's not worth it for me to add the mod.

Well actually I liked the flush-mounted louvers the best, but I'm not willing to remove the factory glass to add them so that put them out of the running for me.
