I have the chance to get a mint set for $40,I always liked them,what do you guys think,my windows are already tinted so would they look good on a yellow IROC??

 

I like them. $40 is an excellent deal, too.

I don't particularly care for them on our cars but if you like them, it sounds like a good deal. Do you have or will have subwoofers? If so, would the louvers rattle? That really annoys me. Just my opinion, the coolest thing about doing stuff to our cars is we make them OUR cars, which are a reflection of us as individuals because no two people are the same. Go with what is you and what you want and your car will be sweet.

You have the high mount brakelight that sits in a pod on the outside of your rear glass, right? If so, make sure the louvers will clear it. My family had an '86 for a while and whoever had owned it before had bent the louvers up making them fit. Also, be aware that the metal mounts will scratch the metal around the window. Easily remedied though. I had a friend that painted the mounts with that rubber tool dip (dunno what it's called). You can get it at any hardware store and it will keep them from scratching + eliminate some rattle.

 

Hi, I got a picture of my car the day I bought it back in July. I have since removed the factory louvers but it was a 'REAL' toss-up for me since it is my show-summercar. It is all original and has only 36,000 on it. But back to you, if you like them then get um!
Oh yeah I almost forgot, like someone else said earlier make sure they are for an 86 because of the 3rd brake light!

 

I like the louvers myself.

 

I dont' know why but I think the louvres look horrible. I have a 91 Z28 with the spoiler and I would really prefer the small spoiler with the side pieces. I think one of the coolest looking things on these cars is the larg rear window and the smooth line of the roof and window coming down. Both the louvres and big spoiler disrupt this. Just my opinion. i guess I should look for a 90 Iroc without louvres.

 

Not a big fan here, but I guess on the right car the might look alright.

 

i love louvers, i have them on my car, here are some pics of my louvers:

 

I dont really care for those,they make the car look wierd to me.Since its your car and you want those to cover something very important or something then I say go for it. Hey BIMMA86 I havent seen ya on the boards in a while.

 

fyi - they might look as though they coverup the hatch but you see through them just as good, give me a chance to go outside and take a picture and i'll show you

 

Hi again Mike! Yeah I have been around just not posting that much. I have been checking up everyday though. But thanks for noticing. Oh, hey you might be getting some more business from the guy I told a while back. I know you are gonna get more from me in the spring!!!

 

Do you have a ******?

 

I was thinking about putting them on my car, but I'm not sure if they would look good. I think they look good on Irocs, the louvers go with the iroc hood well.

 

well I got the louvers today ,just need a good coat of gloss black paint,what type of paint would last,I alreadt primed them top and bottom....And I have a 87 decklid with no 3rd brakelight,I don't like those glass mount lights

 

i bought mine of ebay for 80 bucks and i had to paint them too (well my friend painted them, i put his system in his car)

i love the style i have, little harder to find but they sure do look nice.

btw - i edited my previous post to show my louvers.

 

:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: C'mon now, the 80's were fun, but it's time to move on now.

 

yeah they are out of style to me and i really dident like them when they where they kinda remind me of something even worse that someone would do to there car .. chrome wheel well covers :nono: but if you like it go for it its your car and your style

 

Bimma I have seen this pic of you car many times and it's very nice. The picture needed some help tho so I spiffed it up alittle.

 

Louvers are there for two excellent reasons:

Keeping sun out from damaging your rear compartment/interior

Keeping people from seeing what you have in the back


I love mine...Some of the louvers look ****ty, like the ones that have like 4-5 louvers only...Mines got 7-9.

 

In a word, NO.
