I saw a 99 Cavalier with rear louvers on it!

 

were they thirdgen ones? or was it another revival?

 

i think they look sweet!

 

sorry pic didnt post!

 

Ick !! Remove those mini-blinds on the back window!

I never cared for those.

Just my $.02

 

well, i'll state my opinion, i think they look good on some cars, but some cars i dont think so, same with bout everything, but they look best without them

 

mlrsone, nice shades. I was always brought up as the louvers were a "trademark" of the 80's f-body. I love em, cant wait to get a set.

 

they were made to fit the car. I smell a comeback! (yeah right)

 

Hey, I think those don't look as bad as I first imagined they would!

 

ur right they don't look that bad. i saw an late 80's RS two days ago w/ lovers and that thing was fugly

 

Does anyone remember Inspector Gadget? Those rear window Louvers make a Thirdgen look like the gadget mobile, ya know after it transformed from a minivan or something. Go GO gadget MOBILE!!! hahaha

 

Very True!!!

Go Inspector Gadget!!!! :rockon:

Doesn't change my opinion, however..... He just had good taste.....although his daily driver was questionable.....

 

Thats cool man, If you like em you like em, I gots to respect a persons opinion. Just out of curiousity how much would those things cost for a 3rd gen?

Oh and Brian the dog, was totally cool.

 

Brain was totally cool :rockon: Good for you that you respect others' opinions!!!!!

I'm wondering how much they would be too....I can only find the aftermarket hood ones. Not really sure if I want the rear window ones. But my interest is piqued. If anybody knows, please let me know as well

 

I think that the rear window louvers (f*ck the spelling) are killer looking, only on black cars, then they look awsome, i want to get some or my firebird, but people tell me it looks white trash f*ck them.


Btw..... this is a REALLY old post

 

For anyone looking for them: louvers!

 

they died, may they rest in pieces...

if i bought a car with the louviers on the rear hatch i'd leave them in the person's driveway before leaving. probably in many pieces...

 

darn this was an old post like 2001 them brought back in 2003...........anyways louvers were the trademark for the fbodies in the 80's. the 80's pretty much sucked even though i seem to like that decade a lot!!! (hence me owning a 3rd gen) but i still never caught on to liking the louvers. ive seen some good looking cars with them but very rarely. if you like them you like them so screw everyone else that tries to tell you your car looks like crap because of louvers. they may think so but should keep negative opinions to themselves. i hope i didnt sound like a jerk because i wasent trying to be one to either group, louvers or haters. get it!?!??!

 

hahahhaa, you have too much time on your hands to come up with that line.

 

yea tell me about it. but i just looked at the prices on louvers and im glad i dont like them!!! they are like almost 300 bucks....too much for me to afford

 

Louvers are those kind of things you think is cool for a little while and once you have them you quickly get tired of them, at least thats how it was for me. Even I had the rear louvers on my car for about 3 months.

 

I couldn't tell ya if i would get tierd of them, i have yet to own louvers, i think they are bad *** on black cars...... but not the one piece ones, the three piece with the two side slanted louvers, and then the main back piece, those are the cool ones

 

Thanks for letting those of us who do appreciate ol' school louvers know where we can find them, CaysE. I also found out a place that carries them: JC Whitney. The item# is 86zx3362y for $264.95 (sorry, Camaros only as far as I know). Not bad, and cheaper than the GM ones. As far as quality, I have no idea. I'm not recommending them as I haven't tested them out myself. If in doubt, I'd go with the GM ones. JC doesn't even list them online or in the catalogs. I had to make a special request for customer feedback, which only took 24 hrs.

And, everyone can blame me for resurrecting this once-ancient post from the dead... Oh well, I thought it was better than starting a new one on the same topic and figured, heck, last post was in this year, right?

 

hey if anyone is lookin for any.....i have a set....just need paint and are perfect.....i live in jersey....email me if interested...bubbakutz@yahoo.com

 

The eighties, those glorious years between the absurd seventies and the cultural wasteland of today, was perhaps the single greatest decade in American history.

Having said that, viva louvers!

 

I haven't found any louvers made today that actually look good. The ones that are in that link are horrible cheap plastic. Look at the 4th gen Firebird they pictured. Those things are hideous. JC Whitney also sells cheap plastic crap. Those are the ones that rattle and are problematic. I have a GM set on my car and there is no rattle or squeak associated with them.

I have a brand new set for a 91/92 Camaro. The set is missing 2 slats, but everything else is there. Even the rock hard silicone sealant used to put them together. If anybody wants the set, I'll let it go cheap. It probably wouldn't be too hard to find the missing slats from someone that doesn't want their louvers. My spare set is still in the GM box!

 

man i tried finding a set forever for mine and i to didnt think id like them then realized i really had to have em.
reason was explained many times and i no options but after gettin i set i really like them.

esp cuz they was freebies 2
zip...

but i wished id found this post of info before i had got mine.
i was offered a couple sets by ppl but we never worked deals out and then i found the set for my car for free.
they are 3 piece but i only have the center so im goin to make my own sides i guess or leave em off or something.
wished i could find pieces for mine

but i am definately one of the ppl whos apart from the rest and not on the import band wagon.
i love old school stuff esp cars motors n pure power and i love customs.
so mine fits into them all and one good thign about it i havent seen not one car here as long as i can remeber w/ louvers.

so i feel good being different fomr eveyrone and havin something ppl here dont got.


but like every other thgin new or done i bet i see it once mines on the road.

i had the idea of doin mine same color as car and runnin stripes down em thought i was 1st n only...
wrong guy on here done did it lol
damnit!!!!!!

at least im happy and have mine.

It's Sonic The Hedgehog!!!!!


...now sell them to me

 

I cant belive Ive never seen this thread!Its awsome!This thread is like a cat,It has 9 lives cuz it keeps comming back from the dead.I live in SoCal where it gets sunny in the summer so I like them cuz it keeps the heat out and protects my panels,rear seats,carpet from fading since my windows arent tinted.heres my 1 piece crager.80s kick arss!

 

Here in Arkansas the sun just beats down in the summer and cooks everything in the car, so a set of louvers really help, but my father-in-law (Uncle Jim Bob) said something about how it matches my mullit? whats a mullit?

 

who wants to buy louvers....i got some to sell.......

 

Beginning March 23, 1983, I drove a '83 Z28 every day for the rest of the 80's with NO louvers.

I thought they made a very smooth car look blocky. I used dark tint to get the UV protection and maintain the aerodynamic lines of the car.

So some of us didn't like 'em in the 80's either!

 

HAHAHA ,thats awsome.You just made me another quote to put in my sig...lol

louvers are the shizznet.

i like'em.

 

I got some offers to buy offical ones from other members because they are awsome (the members and louvers), and my windows should be tinted soon, so i might as well not even have a back window due o the fact that it will b imposible to see out of.

 

if your going for the stock 80's look, sometimes they look ok, but i usually don't like them on f-bodies... Geos on the other hand...

 

HEY,at least its not Ri*** out!

 

that makes me not want to show my car anymore.... all these louver haters

 

it's alright man, jealousy gets them no where!

 

Louvers yuck yuck yuck..................blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh puke ok sorry someone killed a thirdgen it was hard to look at.
