Maybe we are calling droop two different things. I thought the sagged in the middle basically, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Could be an optical illusion yes!

I have to say, I am tempted by these. Unfortunately can't find them on their website anywhere, and a quick search couldn't find them for sale.

I believe the group buy was to get enough funds to start making the louvers. I assume after those are made and shipped they will put them up for sale on their website.

The groupbuy ended a couple weeks ago actually. Louvers are being shipped this week.

Well I don't really have anything to compare them to since this is the only louver I've ever had, that being said I am happy with them and would definitely buy again for $350. People on the group buy are pretty happy with them as well
