carbon fiber rear louvers
Does anyone know where i can get a set up CF louvers for the rear window? i have searched and the only ones i could find were for 5th gen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA Tom

Haven't found one either, but you could perhaps get a cheaper unpainted design, then have it hydrodipped to the carbon fiber base color and weave you're after.

Not something I'd want but to each his own. Is that a 57 Chevy next to your Camaro?

Oh wow they updated the design on the bottom. I looked on ebay at them, Trunk clears it? I got mine a few years ago and it warped at the bottom from the heat, but the new design appears to have fixed that, that's cool!

Unfortunately not, the trunk doesnt clear still. She’s only a weekend toy though so I rarely use the trunk anyway, but it’s still an annoyance. I’m still not sure how it will even fare in the summer heat (just put on 4 weeks ago). And honestly the weekend I put them on was so infuriating I almost said screw it and though about just not putting it on, from the crappy 3m tape, to 3 of the brackets snapping off and having to fabricate my own (which in my opinion now are way better than what it originally came with). In the end I stuck with it and I now know how to help anyone who wants to ensure these damn louvers stay on guaranteed.

Ever think of the ones for the side windows? If doing the back, I think something is missing if you don't add the sides.

I’ve looked into it but have a few reasons for not doing so, the main reason being the sides are not removable to clean the windows like the back window is, another is my sides and rear were all limo tinted before the beforehand so it gives a solid looking appearance around when you see it in person (I saw just the back in person before grabbing mine on another camaro and liked the look without the sides).

I like the look of the louvers but am afraid of it coming off while driving.

Oh dang, that's a bummer! Yah,never use their tape, gotta swap it out for gorilla glue tape for sure, and it won't come off. I agree with the side ones as well, they aren't removable and the dirty window would annoy me so bad. I love the louvers look, akot of people don't so its hit or miss.

Here's my car with cf sides and louvers. Both purchased on eBay. Very happy with the look. Louvers take good prep, adhesion promoter and REAL 3m tape, not what comes on the mounts.

Looks great ! , Always did and still do like the look of the louvers. If somebody can make them in a cool carbon fiber look that would be awesome

I know my rides at 69 yrs old. I couldn't tell it was a Nomad but knew it was a 57 because of the trim and rear fender well opening on the fender.
