Either way the material is stable and up to 220 degrees, and is impact resistant. As for the drainage I recommend leaving a few gaps along the bottom edge trim tape for water drainage.....thats all thats really needed. As for the design I'm thinking of pulling the bottom edge lower to keep it more level with the bottom edge. The last one farthest back looks a bit off too but I would like your opinion as well as anyone you might know that would be interested."


I will be emailing him this evening with all your comments and recommendations so he can start a production on these quarter panel louvers. I will also find out how much these louvers will cost.
I see he has louvers for the 99-04 Mustangs listed on ebay fo $100. Are these going to run about the same?? Thanks.

Here is an update on the louvers....I made contact with the maker today and he is sending me a finish set in a smooth ABS finish. I will be posting pictures on here as soon as they arrive.
I have already asked him to give registry members a discount. I am waiting for a reply and will keep everyone posted.

Still waiting on the finish set to come in. The maker has agreed to give the registry members a discount. It's going to come around $88 plus shipping and handling. As soon as I post the pictures I will post his info on here and we can come up with some kind of code so that he knows that a registry member is purchasing them.

Just got the smooth set in. There are a couple of issues with the fit right now, so the maker and I are working on them. I'm going to get them sanded and painted so that I can get them fitting right and then send a new pattern for the fit. I will post pictures as soon as they come back. I just want to make sure that we all get something that fits right and looks good.

I have a set of the originals that we're available several years ago but that
aside isn't anyone concerned about wind getting behind through those slats
and loosening the louvers because of high speed wind? Just a thought.

Sounds great. Can you also do a wind test...drive about 120-150 mph and see if they come off!! ;)

+1 interested. I know they will decrease visibility, but do you know if you can still see anything out of the quarter window with them on? I'd hate to get in a wreck because some aesthetic mod I did covered up my blind spot.

That shouldn't be a problem if your side mirrors are adjusted correctly. I don't think I've ever looked out of my quarter window while driving.

Ya that's just the way I was taught in drivers Ed, been doing it ever since.

They can be a pain in the a$$ when backing out of a parking spot and you can't see out of that quarter window.

I like your sail panel emblems, Old School 1969 look.

I love the sail panel emblems. I assume they are 69 emblems. Looks awesome. I was thinking of putting the 4.6 High Performance emblems where the 40th embelms are and moving them to the sail panels. I like the 69 emblems better. Did you apply with 3M tape or do they come with studs??

You would apply them with 3M tape.

Yummy. Those are nice. I had a similar design like that cut in my 07 and it worked perfectly fine.

Mine made rattling noises at high speed lol. But the visibility was great, you can still see the blind spot.


I would definitely be interested in a pair. I have a black car so I wouldn't have to paint it like you guys mwuahahahaha.

Smith 04-23-2012 01:05 PM
Re: Quarter panel Louvers
 
Are these available yet?? I heard they were doing some tweaking to get them to fit correctly. I have a black Mach, but I would prefer the paintable set to match the paint rather than just the rough flat black.

Thanks. I did use 3M tape and never had a problem with them coming off. I had them 5 years now.
