New Louver and Side Louver designs
 
Saw this online after seeing a RS 1.0 guy gauging interest in it. They are planning a group buy later and I'm totally going to pick some up since they'll be way cheaper than the TRD ones.

Currently 500 bucks and designing now.

what' still in design right now seems to be the side louvers. the rear louvers product page say 50 in stock. Saw this earlier too and was thinking about picking up the rears.

No, both rear and side are in design. Been following this for awhile and the person is slowly updating it.

I don't think much though was put into the designs on the qtr glass/side louvers. How do they intend to make the individual louver go into the body without removing the glass?

Scroll down their FB page a little bit. They have a poll going on asking how people prefer to be able to mount the louver. Popular choice so far seems to be 3M latches.

That isn't what I'm refering too.

See the qtr louver it sits flush with the front window glass. The individual vents go inwards as if there is no glass behind them.

Here is an example of a flush set for the mustang. In order to have this flush style one has to remove the factory glass. http://www.americanmuscle.com/flush-...dow-vents.html

It is just drawings for now. I'm sure prototypes will be made and sent off to early buyers if need be. When I get them I'm getting them painted Yuzu

mustang wannabes :lol:

...for real though those sketches do look nice.. gives the side profile that much needed aggressiveness/bristly look

It's been over 3-4-5 months and the guy is still in the design/vote phase. Good luck to those who "pre-order" an invisible product with no samples whatsoever. I don't think he has any idea how much it costs to move something like this into production. Molds aren't cheap. Production isn't cheap. I hope he has lots of free money to put into this. Oh wait, lets just collect money and pre-order invisible products.

If you really want this product, ask someone like @Extreme Dimensions who actually has the capability to get it done.

Interested in a rear louver! Too bad I'm in Norcal or else I'd offer up my car for fitment/testing. I bet there would be actually be a lot of interest in a cost-effective rear louver - something similar to the TRD louvers but without the TRD price tag.

Not sure about side louvers though.

a few people already make the rear window louver including the company below so probably wont happen sorry!

That price is too steep but if someone can make one for $500 and below will attract more people
