i just have the 1982-1992 camaro version but it is similar in style to the corvette version pictured below

 

Here's my 87 TA with rap around and louvers

 

Yeah, I think the wrap around look the best and the 3 piece is ok but the plastic ones are just junk. Later.

 

Is your louvers plastic or metal and are they clamp ons or do you use double stick tape.

my three piece louvers are metal and are clamp ons that slide underneath the glass and weatherstrip

 

They are metal and clamp on. I wanted to take them off to see how it would look, but the clamps are rusted and I'm afraid I'll break them.

 

if my clamps are busted what do i do then? how do you replace them or you replace the while unit? that part is rusted on mine too damn new england winter

 

cragars are junk and the center/side window ones are junk.

cragars are stupid tall and far away from the rear window and bubbly...

the center slat/ side window ones dont look bad on a second gen but hideous on a 3rd gen.

What you guys are referring to are the abs side aluminum slat dealer option louvers. I have 3 sets of them that I've come across. 2 coming off the 2 thirdgens I own and one set in a junkyard for the amazing price of $10 because well the guy thought they were all plastic lol and you cant get money recycling them.

 

i was taking a closer look at mine (one peice, plastic, held on with clips) and i found the name "astra" stamped on it. i googeled it, and it turns out these guys are still around (as astra-hammond) and making a nice living making louvers for the new mustangs. i also found that they still sell the 3rd gen louvers through a cpl auto supply sites (around $300 new - yikes!!) i'm still trying to find the real manufacturer website, i'd like to see if you can just order a couple clips

 

radical find post up a link to the website I like to check this out dude.

 

here's a cpl of the many links that come up

wow - you found yours on that link??? very cool - who would think you could still buy them after all these years??? i guess there's still enough of us out there to make it worth thier while

 

my version had clamps this remake uses 3M stickey tape

 

hey - i noticed that, and i got to thinking that i'm wasting my time looking for clamps, i only got a cpl that aint holding. i could prob just get that 3m stuff at home depot and put it on next to the broken clips. that would prob save a ton of time and trouble

 

I would advise against the 3m doublestick tape. I heard some horror stories about using the doulbe stick tape on your louvers. that once it is on, the tape is not coming off the glass no matter what you try. is this a fact or myth i dont know a fellow mechanic told me against it when i bought my louvers. if find those clamps let me know

 

stuck to glass???? yeah, that dont sound so hot

 

SO what affect do these have on drag?

 

I dont see it being very much drag at all

 

double sided tape will come off the glass, just use a single edge razor blade, then use some acetone. 3m also makes a remover

 

i'm thinking i'll have to wait til it warms up and take a closer look at them. because it uses clips, the tape might not help, might be too much of a gap

 

I like em! I once saw a teal 92 RS with teal rear window louvers. Looked real good!

 

dude - that really bites. sorry

 

wow. that sucks. sorry dude

 

what happend to your ride xflgkingpin you got in a accident

 

hey im looking for mounting hardware for ome set with the third brake light 91-92 style help me out people will pay top dollar for the set

 

I need mounting hardware for my louvers as well

 

Someone should put louvers on a notchback!! Ha!!!

 

Here's mine. I got them off of a Berlinetta.
