Default Anyone installed rear window louvers?

Hello, as per thread title...any pics? I have an SB and I think they wouldn't look bad at all. The 350Z source site sell them and I am thinking about getting a pair...ciao!

Dude it's not the 1980's and the car is not a 280ZX. PLEASE don't put louvers on your car.

Actually we had louvers in the 70's... I even had them on my 240Z!
350Z should not have them. JMO

Louvers are old school window tint before window tint was invented.

I'm surprised some people are putting them on the side windows of the new Mustangs.

Didn't even know they made them for a 350z but then again they make clear tail lights so who knows.

Go ahead and buy em if you like them! Who knows, maybe in Rome people have different tastes.

You should get black wheels instead cause those are in-style right now.

Funny thread though.
