Flat or semi-flat rear window covers / louvers?

I keep thinking that I would eventually like to get a set of quarter window louvers in the future. I'm not a fan of the louvers that have a lot of vents in them, or that stick out too far, so the Roush louvers are the front-runners right now. What I'd really like however, are just very plain, flat or nearly-flat covers, like on the Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang. Very simple, doesn't stick out, and looks OEM. After a LOT of searching, I haven't found anything like it, and don't see the PJ louvers for sale anywhere yet.

Anyone know if the PJ louvers will be available soon? Is there anything else similar out there?

The other thing I was considering was vinyl. Has anyone had pieces of body-colored vinyl installed on the rear quarter windows? It looks like the orange Boss Mustang in the " '69 style Mustang " thread has vinyl on the rear windows; I just wanted to confirm it, and see if anyone else has done it.

theres a thread in here for (extreme? I think) scoops- replace the glass like silverhorse's for flush look, but just a flat reverse single scoop shape with zero visibility unlike SHR's...I'm just a little biased towards the ones from Silverhorse

This thread is what he is talking about. The louvers replace the quarter windows.

I kind of like those, but I don't like the fact that they have a lot of vents in them. Flush is good though. I'm just looking for something simple more than anything, not a big fan of vents or slits or scoops. The Parnelli Jones quarter windows are my favorites right now:



You can see here how they are nearly flat / flush as well:



That's what I'm looking for: simple and flush or nearly flush. Can't find anything like it. I'm guessing I'll just have to wait until I can buy the PJ quarter window louvers by themselves, most likely for a premium lol.

Nice, thanks for the link. I like those, looks like they are from the Saleen S281 Extreme. Can be purchased HERE if anyone else is interested. I'm personally going to wait and see if the PJ louvers will be released separately anytime soon.
