Another Rear Window Louver option! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So once again, Poison Ivy has become the MRT test mule! Worked with Scott a while back on getting all the measurements... and today we fitted the proto-type!

Now... I understand some people HATE louvers... or they think they belong back in the 80's... Heck I wasn't really sold on them... BUT after seeing the proto-type on my car... wow, I think they look great! Even in the bare aluminum! Can't wait for the finished product! (In BLACK!)

Scott checking the fit:

The MRT louvers are HINGED at the top and clipped at the bottom... so easy access to the window for cleaning! Top mounts:

Couple more pics:

I'm geeked to see them in black!!!!

That looks so cool...props.

brooksware2000 · 06-30-2010, 10:30 PM

Me want. I'd love to offer my 2SS as a guinea pig when the powder coated version gets developed.

*The_Blur* · 06-30-2010, 10:53 PM

I would definitely rock that.

*Mindz* · 06-30-2010, 10:56 PM

Looks good to me. Finally, some louvers done right.

marcao · 06-30-2010, 11:29 PM

Looks pretty good. Curious to see the final product. Keep us posted.

I agree with Mindz

Got to say that I love the look of louvers on the 5th Gen Camaro! Probably the 1st Camaro since the 1st Gen when the louvers looked like part of the vehicle and not just an add on to cover up the huge glass hatch that adorned the 3rd and 4th gens.

Anyways, I will be interested in seeing pictures of this one when done in powdercoated black as I think it will contrast much better than the current unfinished look of steel.

Still like mine, however, the more different styles the better IMO.

I would buy these!

SSTony · 07-01-2010, 01:24 AM

not bad. i like the black ones but i am curious how they will look if there painted the same color as the body of the car.

scrming · 07-01-2010, 05:26 AM

Thanks, All! I will pass the feedback on to Scott!

I will update as I get more information... Also even though these are just the proto-type, Scott's going paint these black... so we can get a better idea of what the finished product will look like!

The Stig · 07-01-2010, 07:41 AM

Pretty

So how do we sign up for this guinea pig process?

Shuffler · 07-01-2010, 09:13 AM

Your car looks better without them IMHO.

peele1 · 07-01-2010, 09:20 AM

Not a big fan of louvers, but these are by far the best looking..
