Thanks MovieGuy for pointing him in the right direction. I wish more wanted to help instead of vomiting their preferences.

As others have said, wait for MRT to come out with them. It's almost guaranteed. Should look nearly identical to the 5th gen's, which I have.

They are powder coated aluminum, held down by two latches at the bottom that in turn securely grab two "nubs" that are attach to a pair of small adhesive pads that you can remove from your window later on if desired. Top is secured by adhesive "hinge" pads which lets you lift the louver upward to clean your glass. Finally, it comes with a couple "prop rods" hidden in the bottom-most louver which you can swivel down to help keep the assembly propped up when you're cleaning the rear window.

No other product offers this setup or anything near this level of quality, AFAIK. All other products are cheap ABS plastic that will fade in no time and look like garbage. No rattling at all -- I actually tried to listen carefully for noise after installing these and wound up instead noticing a lot of noise that my *sunroof* makes, which I now can't "unhear." :P When I bring my car in for service, sometimes people ask what the GM part code was for these... I guess that's a way of saying they look like they could be stock. They do sort of match the body lines of the car well and look like they match the shark fin antenna to some extent even.

Finally, as for visibility, it's kind of like blinds on a window. If they are angled the right way, you can see out but still have privacy. These are angled such that to the driver, each louver looks like a maybe 1/4 inch thick metal metal slit traveling across the window. It doesn't impede visibility at all and actually *helps* at dawn or dusk if the sun is behind you.

I saw one of these on the road a few days ago. It looked pretty good, though it was a car that someone spent quite a bit of money on going for a certain look (black paint, everything blacked out). http://www.americanmuscle.com/mmd-re...uver-1516.html

I like the look, but of course ABS plastic is not a long term solution. Then there's how would these look on a Camaro instead of a Mustang.

Uh, no. There's only one car louvers look right on and that's a 1970 Boss 302.

And that's perfectly fine, just be willing to accept the comments when you post on a forum and say "what do you think about ______ on my car?".

I see louvers on the back window of any car first thing that comes to mind is butterfly collars and Saturday Night Fever.
