Default Should i try these out?

Hey guys I was thinking of trying these out. theres a guy here locally who was these on his white stang withthe foose hood and shaker...it looks pretty sweet. Im not sure through. It has the retro look to it.....but ight look better if I had rear window louvers. I dont know yet........I dont know anyone else that has these......how do you guys think it will look on my car?

I like them. They're reminiscent of the 1970 Mustang roofline--my all timefavorite Mustang. I saw those in a magazine a few months ago, and if I didn't alreay have louvers, I'd try them out.

There's a guy over on another site dedicated to Grabber Orange that has the car they used for the pics in the catalog. He likes them, but I think they show up as "fake" in my eyes. He posted a bunch of pics and after closer looks, they aren't something that flows with the lines of our cars very well. I like the louvers you have better myself, but I may be a bit biased because I also have them.

like some women, theyre good from far, but far from good. lol. jk. but in all seriousness they do look good from far away, but when you get close you see the bulge in the window cover and they dont flow well. jmo though.

I will be the first to say it.

They are ugly as hell. Don't do it. I thought there was a better set out there, but those look cheap and stick out too much to give the look your looking for.

I think I would need to see a far-angle shot to make a 100% decision (rather than just the close-up), but right now I'd say no.

It's not that they're totally hideous or anything, they just don't work with the design of the car in a way that improves the look.

I'm not really a fan.
