Back Window Louvers

Does anyone know where I can find louvers for the 06 sedan? I can only seem to find them made for the coupes. I hate that the sedan gets no love with parts haha

A channel called B is for Build welded something up for the coupe. It was an apocalyptic build for a contest I think. It was hard seeing some of the things he did to that car

I had to double check to make sure I hadn't found my way to a 3rd gen Camaro message board. Louvers? Really? Get tint.

This really can't be a look you want to emulate, right?

I have tints. It’s about being different and creative. I haven’t seen it on a sedan only a coupe so i want to be one off the first. Heres how it looks on a coupe.

Well....

It's not AS BAD as I thought it would be and color matching really helps. My biggest issue is the overall design of the G is the big sweeping curves without any hard lines drawn across it but the rear louver DOES add hard lines and angles which really clashes with the overall theme of the vehicle.

With a louvered hood to complement the front it would be more symmetrical I think and it would also pair well with an extravagant body kit, especially a widebody kit since it makes the car very "busy looking".

Keep in mind this is coming from a guy that used to own an '83 trans am t-tops...

My hairstyle still resembles something of a mullet too...

So I might be a little outdated and DEFINITELY a bit biased...

Well, its your car and that's the route you want to go, as long as you're happy that's what counts. I can tell you from experience (because I'm old!) they can rattle over bumps.

You probably haven't seen them on the Sedans because the rear window is too upright in comparison to the coupe. Odds are if you want 'em you have to get the custom made.

Hmmm. That doesn't give me the gag reflex I expected. It sorta works on the VIP look you're grooving, and the softer curves of the louver ends help echo the softer lines of the G. I also think the visible joint between the louvre panel and the body helps because it accentuates the curves of the window corners. It's definitely better than the very angular louvers version I've seen elsewhere.

Louvers belong on american muscle cars IMO. But, that's what building a car is all about. You had a vision and you went for it.
