I think they are ugly. They look like they are warped or something. I don't like louvers to begin with, but I really don't like those though. I like the color of the car though, very nice.

i personally love louvers on thirdgens, i jave them on my car

btw - love you car, looks great, that is one of my fav colors on the thirdgen, my best friend has that color on his '89 RS which i almost bought, but at the time it had lost compression in the no 2 cylinder, now it runs great, knock, knock

Here are a few pics of mine, these are my fav kind of louvers:

Ya know, if you were to fill in the side louvers that are on stuart69427's car, and get rid of the center louver, it would look jsut like GTAuto's notch back hatch!

Ghigman3,
I hate to tell ya this, if you like them as much as i do, they are kinda rare and very, did i mention very?, i was lucky enough to find a used set on ebay for $80 and repainted them

btw - i like my louvers the way they are and i am debating on whether or not to buy GT's Notchback and ram air hood, defiantly getting the hood but not sure if i want the notchback. Either getting the notchback or tinting my hatch under the louvers, not sure, most likely be going with tinting cuase its cheaper
