Rear Window Louvers / Louvres
So... Something I've been thinking about that I'd love on my car, but can't seem to find anywhere.
Rear window louvers. (included the British spelling in case anyone is using Search). I know they are making them again, as I've seen them on some late model Mustangs. The '11+ tC has enough retro mini-pony-car lines that I think it could pull them off, and it would keep the sun off the rear and provide privacy for the cargo area, without going even darker on the tint or getting one of those flimsy excuse for cargo covers that Scion sells. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ydpWB-Vnm.../gadgetCar.jpg NOTE: If you don't like them, fine. To each his own... Go find a thread where people are talking about cutting the springs and painting the hoods black. As a kid in the 80s, any car that had louvers looked cool to me, even my Uncle's Citation! Let me dream! ____ |
I'm definitely interested -- keep us apprised of anything you find out.
|
+1 for including Inspector Gadget's car
|
I'd like to see what they look like on a tC. Might be interesting.
|
I've googled until I'm googled-out. Can't find anything. Was hoping someone else had found something.
|
There is definitely none on the market for the tC. Unless you can find some kind of "Universal" louvers, which I doubt, they'd need to be custom made. :?
|
yea...no way my sponsor will make these LOL
|
Dude, I have thought about this alot. Everytime I see the car from the rear almost, I think "louvers would look great." Finding someone to make them though would be alot of work. My comprimise is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/43-Inches-BM...item231aa2d8d4 It helps break up that giant rear window. One can dream though. |
i think this would be bad ___ ill take measurements and see if i can find a set that will fit and try them
|
Sounds cool but wouldn't it look weird with our glass top?

I was about to mention the rear wiper but remembered they don't have those on the US model.
LOL @ stacking rear visors - good one :) |

I'm looking for these as well. Anyone know where to get them? |
Go to dealer and see if that Toyota model will fit, could be same dimensions.

I Pass on the Louvers. My 5% Limo Tint is doing Nicely.
I sure like to know Where to get those Tail Lights? Can any one ID those Tail Lights?? |

Thanks tC toph for the link.
It's for the 2011-2013. I'll have to find out from them if they will work for the 2015. |

I read most of the post (but not all). First let me say two things: I don't think straight forward louvers would fit something I would do so keep that in mind. 2) If I were to try to persue something along those lines I would try to get my hands on a trunk hatch from a junkyard and try to work with fiberglass and fabricate it myslef. Working with fiberglass isn't that hard, and you could do your own style. I could see something with some clever angles like those on the Aventador, that have some angles in them.
but by all means, do you! |

I just ordered louvers for my 2011 Scion and waiting for it to come in and I’ll give an update. But here’s the website I got it off of, found it through Pinterest. https://pin.it/5bnuxwN https://www.autotrimdesign.net/Scion...yota_Zelas.asp It goes for 05-16! Hope this helps :) ____ |
