Yep! Its the rear louvers.
I mean, louvers on a Stang? To me, those are so 25 years ago.
The 1/4 louvers look fine, but I think the rear window would look better without them.

Well let's see..........it has an aftermarket antenna, deep dish 18 in bullitt rims, rear window louvers, 1/4 window louvers, limo tint on the sides at least, GT300 stripe on the side, black tail lamp bezels, chrome exhaust tips, and the GT emblem from the S197 concept car. Also, the side mirrors are painted black to match the rest of the car. Did I miss anything? Ok....now.........what is strange about this car you think? Cuz I don't see anything that I haven't seen on other 05+ mustangs save for the GT concept emblem.
and a chin spoiler, other than that i am still tryin to figure it out

I don't care for the rear window louvers that are available so far. I think they would look slick, but these are just too bulky and they bump out too far. They need to be preened down a bit so they hug closer to the window glass.....otherwise they do something funky to the side profile of the back end on the car.

Otherwise, I think it's a tight looking car.

Yeah. It looks great.
I was a little surprised to see louvers like that on a newer Stang. I rarely ever saw those on any car from the 90s and 2000s up until now. I remember seeing those on a 1980s Chevy Monza, Pontiac Firebird/Camaro, Ford Mustang, etc. They looked cool back then, but today it looks so outdated.

I would have to say there is nothing wrong with that car looks like someone had a little extra $ and some love for a good car.

I get alot of good comments from people on the street who enjoy seeing some of the old styles making a come back.

I like the louvers on the 2007 Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang not a bad looking car.

i can easily tell that the rims are photochopped on there
Sorry! those are the real rims. It may look like they are fake, but they look like it because of the flash from my camera.
your flash has the magical ability to give round objects sharp, pointed edges lol

Side louvers are cool but the rear are fugly!

The 1/4 louvers look fine, but I think the rear winow would look better without them.

I think a bra would really go well with those louvers. How about that blue-purple window tint from the 80's also? Maybe some wire "curb feelers" sticking out the wheel wells.
