You should only get the rear one if you have a mullett... then it would be acceptable. the SHR side louvers aren't bad.

Love my SHR louvers! If I got a set of rears, I would go with Aluminum and make sure it will prop up. Other wise it will be a PIA trying to clean the back glass. I had one on my '82 GT.

The reason the glass looks white in the last picture is because it was parked next to my box truck.

My rear louvers are MRT, They came in flat black and I had it painted locally and vinyl stripes put on at a local graphics shop! I would do it again....I like them!

I really like the look of painted rear window louvers.

It isn't for everyone though.

I have a white Mustang, so I am not sure all of that white would be a good thing, but I would love to see someone else do it first.

I think black rear louver would look good on white. I put mine on before paint to see what it would look like in black. If it wasn't for the white stripes I think it would have worked!

Yours looks great. I'm just debating whether to go with the MRT or the Willpak on AM. Either way, it won't be anytime soon so I still have a long time to figure it out.

Thanks! Take your time, there is certainly no hurry. The MRT mounts to the glass only, nothing permanent in case you want to remove them. They also prop up for cleaning. Just cleaned mine up getting ready for the Shelby meet in Tulsa at the end of the week. Whichever you decide, if possible leave the underside flat black. I painted mine both sides and get some reflection off of the bottom of the louver.

I like the side louvers and then I think on the right car, the rear window louvers are fine. They are not something I would do on my rides though, but I did consider it when I had my '10. Of course, Mark's 500 looks badass with both.

Thanks for the tip! I'd leave them flat black for the look I'm going for. Although painted looks good too.
