...heh, heh... heh, heh... you said "rear louver"... heh... :bump:

Okay, now that I've got the Beavis and Butthead out of my system, umm... nah. Haven't seen one, and personally I don't think it'd look very good with *this* car. Too 80's-ish, and the styling on the FR-S is very modern (or only five years old if you compare it to the Maserrattis/ Ferraris it takes styling cues from). That's just my opinion, but that's what you asked for. :thumbsup:

But if I should happen to see one, I'll make a note of posting a link on here.

^ I agree with T.C.. Louvers had their place (back in the '70s and '80s) and looked somewhat OK on some of the cars of the disco era. Then window tint was invented. The swoopy lines of an FR-S wouldn't look right with a set of louvers. As above, just my opinion.

Grishbok 09-20-2012 06:47 AM

unless hes refering to the mustang style rear louvers which are actually on the side, smaller, triangular windows.

If that's the case, they would look *better* than what I was thinking of (being the slats you saw on Camaros and Trans-Ams back in the early 80's). Don't think they'd be possible, though, with the shape of the side windows of the FR-S, but then again, I've seen stranger things made.

agreed. The slats of the early 80's cars would sorta fit with the tom selleck mustache on the brz though... hmmm....

LMAO!!! Thank you! Now I'm gonna have cheesy porn music playing in my head every time I see a BRZ! LOL... :lol:

Wouldnt this increase the blind spot for the driver on the passenger side? Since most drivers don't adjust their side mirrors correctly and enjoy looking at the side of their car

If youre going fast enough, you wont need rear-view mirrors

Was talking about rear window not the rear quarter panel

I have a soft spot for retro looks, that's why I've been thinking about this one.

Mirrors? Where we're going we don't need mirrors.

Does TRD sell those vent replacements? I want them pretty bad

86BRZ 01-11-2013 04:09 PM

I wonder where can we find the louver these day if one really want to? Not home depot... eBay?

Shagaliscious 01-11-2013 05:26 PM

I loved the rear louvers on the MKII Supra

I am seriously considering some old school style, 16x9 wheels. I think it'd be pretty bad ass.

Bring back the louvers!! :party0030:

BRZNutt 05-08-2013 08:18 AM

The last RWD car I had was a 76 Firebird Formula with rear window louvers...I'm not going back there. Tinted headlight covers, down jacket, Moosehead beer in the trunk and feathered hair. I was every father with a daughter's nightmare...

Mine were hinged and folded up for access to clean the window.

Yes and yes. I'm also considering the louvers x 16s can't help it.. as I'm so infatuated with my Starion. The 80's are embedded in me now lol.

I've actually mocked up my spares, unfortunately these are a different bolt pattern then that on the FRS/BRZ otherwise they would probably be on it.


OURO3OROS 02-16-2014 09:50 AM

I absolutely love the look. Do I $900 love it though? No, not that much.

First_Time_86_Owner 02-21-2014 08:06 AM

I like them in this picture, but I can't find any information about it.
