Check out carid.com, they have good prices and great customer service. I have louvers on my Camaro, but not the MRT's.

Question. I love the look of the louvers, but do they worsen the visibility out of the back end?

Not at all sir, you actually almost don't see them they are so thin. But the heat factor from the sun when the car sits, they cut it down by about 20 degrees, and I live in Florida, plus they protect your rear deck inside the car. I love them.

The ones I have are from the company E&G Classics and got them from carid.com, I think they were about 264 shipped. I was looking at the MRT's, but my buddy has them on his Mustang and they are fading pretty bad, mine have been on there for a year already, no fade.

They don't fade just need some cleaning, I have had mine for years...the MRT....And BTW driving at high speed down the highway they keep the back window clearer in the rain.....

they do like some cleaner like I use black magic to bring out the power coating black as water spots happen just like anything.

Not at all. They actually improve visibility in the rain. It’s like night and day with them on. It’s been raining a lot lately so a set of louvers is quickly moving up on my list of things to get. I wish they weren’t so expensive. Make sure you get ones that have hinges so you can clean the glass easier. Also as a side benefit, they will keep the sun off your rear deck and seats.
