Default window louvers?

so i was looking at getting some window louvers for my car because they do look very nice, but i was wondering if that would just completely destroy the vision of my blind spot lol

They do. But the look is worth it. Go with the Rousch, they are removable for window cleaning, and the best looking ones on the market.

I'll second the Roush vote (of course I'm a bit biased). They do block the vision, but with the big mirrors (compared to my '90) I haven't had any trouble.

I got the CDC ones that you can see through and they work fine. I had the backsides painted front and I have no problem with extra "blind spot" with these. They also give a more classic look than the Roush, but you will have to decide what look you want.

I went with 3d carbon and couldn't be happier. I couldn't see anything through the rear side windows anyway. Mirrors provide all the blind spot protection I've needed.

I got it from Moss Motors (fordmustangstore.com). It was much more affordable than many of the other billet grilles on the market, and, IMO, looks just as good. You can see a better pic of mine at:

Only down side to the chrome grilles (mine and others on the market) is that there is no way to attach the stock pony, which is flat while the grilles are curved. But that wasn't anything the trusty dremmel couldn't handle. 15 minutes later and a few pieces of 3M tape and viola, pony reattached.
