:rockon:

I like em, on most f bodies i need one side of my plastic to put mine back on. i don't like the full louver style though you know the one that is blade from side to side, mine has a plastic piece on each side then the blades are only throught the middle. does that make any scence?

any way i like em, anyone have a side peice hanging around?

I don't like em. Makes them look straight from the 80's, sorta "redneckish".

Although I have seen a couple IROC's where I didn't mind them at all.

I agree with the idea that louvers are an 80's look... and that's exactly why the look good on these 80's cars!

Like 'em, yes I do. Kept the interior of my IROC-Z in pristine shape protecting it from sun damage. I too, like some one else mentioned, like the way the look on an IROC.
I simply vote yes!

Ick. Don't like them. Well, if they're kept clean and free of debris.... they're okay.... But all the ones I see here are trashy 'birds that need some TLC and owners who care about them...

I hate them. I think they look bad but thats just me. I once saw a grey iroc and said...those don't look to bad.

Everyother car I've seen with them looks terrible I think.

Man! I am taking them off then as soon as I get some money to tint the back window. Darn peer pressure .I have been leaning toward taking mine off though. The only thing I will miss really is the frost and sun protection. Now I just have to find out what the 35% tint looks like.

I personally don't like them in general. Though there where pictures posted of a silver Pontiac with them on the board recently that didn't look too bad.
