Looks nice, But I'm not sure I want to lose the use of my back windows.
Appearance-wise, Yes they look great to me!

I think the back side windows are allready a blind spot, so I dont rely on them now, so I just have to decide if I like them, or keep looking!?

I'm a plain vanilla sort of guy, so, personally, I like the classic retro like just the way it is.

My 2 cents...

But, as has been said many times before, go with what you like. If you're not sure, wait until you are (from the useless advice department).

Cheers,

Ken

Hey Girl,

I personally don't like the louvers or c-piller panels. I really think they detract from the lines of the car.

I havn't put many exterior mods on my car, mainly because I was waiting to see what the market produced. I have had my stang since early november and since then I think I have reduced my body kit options down to a nice hood.

I really think the lines of the car are its strength.

Following the shape of the wheel well is not a good match IMO.

I like these better:

Do yourself a favor and don't put any fake glue on parts on your car!! Quickest way to take a nice looking car and make it tasteless and tacky.

Scoops only go good when it adds to the look of the car like the car you show on the first post. If you are planning to make you car look exactly like that one, then go for it, if not, I would say nay

oh yea, and they gotta be functional, if not you are going against what Ford succeeded in doing with the new '05, which was to take away any unnecessary objects from the car

The scoops on the '99s-'04s went well with cars just like the ones on the '67 and '68 Shelbys.

Side scoops and Louvers are cool, don't care for the hood much.
I like Steeda's hood.

The hood school looks like two flared nostrals... not a real fan of 'em.

Honestly, you never look out the passenger side 1/4 window? I hear a lot of people saying the windows are useless but I can't begin to mention how often I use it. Sure the drivers side is useless but that is no different than any other car.

Anyway, not a big fan of the scoops. I prefer vented louvers on the windows.

I got the quarter scoops for my vert, along with the Street Scenes duck tail. Just waiting for a nice 68 replica hood and I'll be done.

I prefer vented side louvers as well. I lean towards the '65 and '66 Mustangs vs. the 67' & '68.

What do the louvered ones look like? I would want real louvers, not the fale ones I saw on the boards before.
