I got them! They look pretty good, but I had trouble with the 1/4 turn hold-downs stripping out, so I used self tappers I had.

They rattle alot because of the aluminum... I won't be putting them back on after paint again.

They do look good, but why do you have those different louvers on each side of the main louver. Did it come that way? I wasn't really looking for a setup like that but rather a setup with just the main louver covering the whole back window. YOUR CAR LOOKS SWEET. I love the color and the stripes. Thanks for the help

I'm not sure if they make them in the single piece. These are the 3-piece, the sides are plastic and the center is rattlin' aluminum.

Thanks for the complement, you'd revoke it if you saw the ground effects. I wish it still looked like that but this one's my daily driver and a couple years of road salt played hell on the paint. I'm going for the 'project silver streak' look using the same colors, but a little different layout. Lot's of bodywork to do this summer!

The Willpak that I am looking at I think is one piece it is here http://www.jcwhitney.com/productnoit...ml?CATID=60542 just go to that link. There is a picture. I emailed JCWhitney and they said it was a Willpak. So I guess they do make one piece louvers. Thanks again for the information

I think the one at JcWhitney would look sweet on my car what do you think, here is a picture of my car.


I think that the black louvers would look killer with my red Camaro.

Nobody makes a one piece louver. All louvers are 3 piece because of the curve of the glass. The center piece is metal, while the sides are plastic. The difference in louvers are the 3 piece "look" or the one piece "look". Mine is the one piece "look".
