Me too! :) For $700 S+H to US they'd be a perfect gift!

Wonder if we start a group buy of say...15[?] if one of the Nippon vendors would lower it to that?

Help me contact them!

Yep, I heard about some of them sick puppies ....... :sigh:


I remember back-in-the-day, on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon, under the shade of the maple trees in the barnyard, I was waxing my old car ....... again ...... when my father yelled out "if you wax that car one more time ...... I'm gonna find a hog house to clean out".

(for you non-farm types, shoveling the soupy hog poop out of the corner of a hog house, was the crappiest job on the farm).

Anyone in the last year purchase louvers?

If so:


How is your DD overall visibility?
Night visibility good?
Which louver did you purchase?
Price?
Worth it?

I'm trying to muster up myself to buy one...... but $1000.... is so much for just louvers....

I've seen the TRD ones in person and they are nice AF. You should have good visibility as long as you are looking directly behind you on the road via over shoulder and rear view mirror. As long as you're not trying to look upwards and behind you, you'll be fine.

I had em on my 300zx they are fine for DD and really dont hurt visibility too much. Bitch to clean the window as you have to take them off every time

Well, now, Packofcrows ...... you just go for it. Yep, December will be a great time for the critters. The swallows will like the ledge effect; great place for the mud dobbers to build; the sparrows will appreciate the protection from the rain; the mice will find it a handy place to nest and it will be one stop grocery shopping for the birds of pray. At least, they will keep the seagull poop off the back window ....... :thumbup:
