Default Rear window louvers?

I very rarely venture out of the 5.0 section on the site, but I saw 2 different S197 stangs this weekend, and they really caught my eye. One was a dark blue Gt with black trim/striping, and one was that grey/silver color (i don't know the exact name), but both of them had black rear window louvers, and they looked sick. I was wondering if anyone knew if that is a factory option, or are there just 2 random people in my town who bought window louvers. Either way, my heart is with my fox, but these cars look a lot like the old school muscle build. I wouldn't mind buying one in the future.

They are an aftermarket mod. You can purchase 1/4 window louvers or the rear window louver. Most people prefer the hinged ones so that you can clean the back window.

I had rear window louvers on my '82 GT. It was great for cutting down on the sun and heat.

Aftermarket only; Rousch, MRT & Astro-Hammond are the only 3 out there that I'm aware of at this time.
Prices range from 225-500 for a set.
Older pic of mine,before the black wing & flat black rear trim.
