I forgot what they were called but anyway i found that if you buy plastic 16 oz cups from walmart not just for this but for drinking stuff cut the ribs out of one cup the exact shape of the rear window and superglue them on but wait they are white on a black window take a magic marker and color them black instant fin things:p

window louvers? do you have any pics to show how well they turn out looking? and punctuation would make that a lot easier to read.

they're called louvers. and that's a very sloppy method.

might not be a bad idea, just needs a little tweaking. cut to fit the whole window, and use paint and it could be a great idea. good idea though man, its using your resources to mod how you can. can't shoot you down for that.:)

All that needs is a good painting and it'll look fairly good.

with the sharpie=lazy
with paint and exact fit = good looking louvers

i don't have a muscle car so i won't be using this, but who knows? looks like something easy and neat. i might get one later (not very likely considering i'm more on the asian car side though...).

steel louvers are ugly. black plastic louvers are cool. B)

Louvers are ugly in general, I HATE them. That's pretty creative and doesn't look as bad as I thought it would though.

Not a bad idea. If I ever get an 04 Mach 1 Model, I'll take your idea into thought so I could make it look like my Dad's Mustang Mach 1.

not a bad idea. i know what you did is just mach up, but i would use the black paint instead of the sharpie, it makes it look lazy like every one else said. but great idea.

Actually I think this is a great idea. If it was done a little cleaner and painted instead of marker'd. You could probably make this look very good. Nice idea. (also I would maybe, after cutting out the shape and fitting it .... fill the back side in with a little bit iof putty to make it solid.
