    Having owned and driven around in several cars using them.. I myself really like louvers. But in this case, unfortunately I would have to completely agree only because they're made wrong and are completely backwards looking.

    However.. if they were made with larger slats that were more pronounced looking.. not "smoothed/rounded over looking" to match some FULL LENGTH rear window louvers?.. I'll take 2 please. If they're done right.. you can actually see through them just a little bit to slightly help reduce blind spotting.

    hmmm.. there was also another guy around here from the states who was going to make and market his too.. but I think he wanted like 3 bills or something like that for his version.

    and I probably misspoke about them.. "being made wrong".. they very well may have decent craftsmanship for all the little that I know about them. I didn;t mean to imply that they are junk. I still think they look backwards though. :stirthepot:

    Truth be known.. I was going to buy a set and cut the louvers out to make my own version with rear facing slats. Basically just buy the frame to shortcut it, is all.

    I think it brings a unique design to the maverick. But at the same time it seems like a mustang knock off to me. That may sound bad but in no way mean to belittle anyone's work or view. One of those hit or miss designs imo.
