I think I like the fins (I have them already, not installed yet) but not sure about the gauges...was going to buy the gauges, but I think I'm going to keep my pioneer...

I need those louvers. NEED. I don't know why I like them - I am an abomination.

They were originally designed to minimize light coming in from above on cars with long, sloping rear windshields to reduce heat without reducing rear visibility too much. This car is basically begging for it!

My money goes to the first vendor who can create a set of these that don't have rattling issues (at least not too bad), and ones that have a hinge so we can clean the rear window. Cash in hand. You can even test it on my car. I am putting it out there for any vendor who wants to give it a shot.

I've given up on waiting for TRD, so I've sent a note to Willpak Industries who make louvers for lots of models including several Toyota models and lots of muscle cars.

Maybe if enough of us bug them, they'll step up for us!

Wow their stuff looks good. Judging from the other ones they make, they should be in the $200-$400 range depending on material.

I am going to send them an email as well. Let's get this going guys!
