Here's my car. I bought the car with them already installed. I had every intention of taking them off, but they really grew on me and now they aren't going anywhere!

 

[poneypower89]

how is the rear visability with those installed?

 

[Aaron]

Completely fine! They are hardly noticeable because of they way they are angled to the glass.

 

[poneypower89]

hmm... i kinda want em

 

[Aaron]

Like I said - I love mine - I'm fairly sure they were an option on the 87's (they are genuine Ford). The only thing I don't like about them is taking them off to clean the back window. It's nothing more than 2 screws (the top part is on hinges). But it's still harder than just cleaning a normal window. That is my only gripe though.

Our cars look close to the same color... but I really think its those rims that are making the louvers... I just dont think my turbines would match up well.

I may have a pic with the same wheels...hold on a sec and I'll look.

awesome.. im waiting

Damn - I thought I had one saved as a jpeg, but I guess I don't. I know I have some hard copy pics somewhere but I would have to dig them out.
Here's another pic before my car got painted though...just a different angle.

 

[poneypower89]

Holy Batman thats a large picture.... well, thanks for looking anyways. The car really does look good. There are just subtle differences in yours like the rims, paint quality, and now that I look at it T-TOPS... the louvers seem to flow better on your ride than they would on mine...

i dig em...i almost bought an LX with em...they look killer with the black LX trim

 

[Aaron]

haha - I know it's large - I didn't re-size it first...

I still think louvers look sweet on fox bodies in general...
Tell you what - I think I have an old pic hanging in my cubicle at work with the turbines still on the car. I'll scan it in and PM you when it's posted.

Sweet deal.. thanks man

I seen a few around but the one I do remember is a Black LX with them and I always thought it looked sweet.

I think I'd rather have some sort of hood louvers rather than window louvers...

 

[GREYFOX4INCH]

I think they make it look like a alligator.
not dissing, just giving an alternate opinion.
its all up to your own taste

Not dissin' on your louvers at all man but if you ever happen to come across a set of the metal ones... SNAP EM UP! The difference in look will be night and day. The metal ones (although a bit heavier) are a big improvement in how they look vs. the plastic version.
