Asphalt louver...80s lover - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Definitely want this once I can afford it

IMHO, no. Not even no.....HELL no. All I can think of is an early 90's Ford Escort.
Blah. BUT, It's your ride and if you like em that is all that matters. It definitely doesn't fit the tails tho. I love those tails, but the 80's look with the futuristic tails look conflicts IMO. Almost confising. You need ultra dim, dingy all red tails.....like the ugly a$$ Toms.

@Dizzywithadame I see you are in Nevada. I've you noticed a appreciable difference in the internal temp of the car when parked, or driving? I would think blocking out the back glass would make a decent difference.

I'm more sold than ever on these louvers after those pics... Now, what to do to get money..? lol.

All those that want these but need to save the money, make sure you set aside about $1100 because that's what it comes out to after shipping. Not sure what the OP paid shipped, but mine were $1,071 from japanparts.com

@ShutterSpeed pictures are definitely requested. I need to see it on your car.

tahdizzle · 06-06-2014, 11:33 AM

I like em. :P

Looks like it'll be a pain to wash your windows... Remove and re-install every car wash...

Actually yes, I've noticed a difference even with tint in the rear window. I have 35% tint in rear. But it's a minor plus seeing as tint is a fraction of the cost of the louvers

Yeah it is if you want it absolutely clean, it's wide enough for you to get your hand in there with a towel to do a decent enough job, at least for me. Air compressor helps a lot though

I noticed your badges are silver instead of chrome.. what did you use to do that? Does it match scion's badges pretty well? I want to do the exact same thing to mine

They're actually a cerakote burnt bronze to try and match wheels. I had my gunsmith that coated my rifle do the same for my emblems, they are similar but not a perfect match

Looks so much better installed and with good pics. Waiting for some knock offs to be made lol, $1100 seems a bit excessive for a plastic cosmetic part. Now if it was CF..
