From the FRS/BRZ/GT86 Facebook For Sale group, there's a company in Canada that will be producing a slightly varied version of the TRD Louvers:
FiSiK Aero Rear Window Louver Pre-Order

The owner/operator says they will be producing them in fiberglass or carbon fiber. As these have to be made from scratch, they are looking for a group-buy to help with the initial cost of fabrication. As such, if 10-14 people pre-order, the cost for the fiberglass model will be $650, 15-19: $550, 20+: $500. For the carbon fiber model it starts at $800.

The owner/operator is looking for at least 10 people to pre-order before starting fabrication/production and hopes to have the louvers on or before January (depending on the minimum requirement).

I've joined the Facebook group, but have not handed over any payment as I have yet to see a serious 3D model, only rough sketches and photoshopped TRD parts. Hopefully, as December rolls in, we'll see an actual 3D model.

It's at the price you all are looking for...

please link fb group

Out of curiosity, did you happen to read this post? If so, you surely would have found the link to the FB group, ya know, the one that says "FiSiK Aero Rear Window Louver Pre-Order" with a hyperlink wrapped around it.

If not, here it is again. I hope this makes the link to the group clear...

FYI I talked to MRT yesterday. They mentioned that they have a concept designed, and are in the process of making a prototype. First prototype should be available in a few months; they will trial it on a local car and put up photos to gauge interest.

Good to hear. I'm not sure if I'm into the louvers or not but I'd like to see a nonTRD setup hit the market. Their price tag definitely stopped me from buying it before. Buying American is good too

Would it be possible to see a rendering or perhaps they can send an image as to what it may look like?

Any update on this

mynamesbert · 04-13-2017, 02:46 AM

I'm curious about this too. I'd like to have this on the BRZ come summer!

Kerrija · 05-03-2017, 11:32 PM

Still waiting...

Hazzard · 05-04-2017, 12:24 PM

@sirsol66 Have you heard from MRT with any updates?

Mx5racer · 05-04-2017, 09:42 PM

Definitely interested

blackfireball5 · 07-11-2017, 03:34 PM

Just discovered this thread. Highly interested!

I wouldn't get my hopes up, Facebook news seems grim..

"Okai guys,

This is for those who have the time to read haha

I know we have disappointed you in many ways. At first the louver project was a side development product. We thought we would have the time to do it before the season! But then we got a lot of orders and things started to get more complicated... So we decided to search for a place to work properly. At the beginning of our company, we where working at our ex-partner's garage, then it became to small, we move again into a bigger one (march) but we where two companies in the same space (it wasn't easy because we could work on weekends and nights), after we move again but this time, it was our own shop (may-june). We where once again, having to many orders... we where working on the floor because all our tables where taken... finally Yesterday we move, again, into a bigger shop (4 times bigger than the one on may-june). This time we should be good for a moment, no more moving... �� haha

We will build a lot of tables to work properly and from today we will be more productive!!

All companies start some where, they all begin whit a dream, goals and some ambition!!

Our mistake whit the louvers was that we took to much orders... We bought materials, tools and furniture. Your money went there and it still is!! (For those who blame us and said we took 10k + you are wrong, all orders gave us 5.54k exactly)

That been said, in my behalf I would like to say sorry! It was our mistake to start to early the group buy for the louver's development, we'll probably never do a group buy again. It is not your fault but ours!!

This is really funny! And I'm not joking!! At first, this kind of things shocked me because people don't realize what we have been trough but then I realized that it will only help me and my company to work harder and prouve to myself that we are doing something great ��

Sooo I have said enough for today I'll return to work. If you have questions, advices or anything, I am wide open!

*sorry if I did mistakes English is my fourth language and it's kind of confusing"
