Aluminum Rear Window Louvers? Who makes them and please post pictures.

I have been looking for a while for Rear Window louvers for my 2014 GT. I have had several other Mustangs with them and love the look. I can not find a lot of pictures from the side and straight on looking at the back?

Can you post them? I would like to find all the manufactures that make them.

Pros and cons?

My older Mustangs where hatch backs.

Looks like the MRT Rear Window Louver is the only one available in Aluminum, and it's an expensive bugger.

Not a fan of the look on the S197 myself but I do have the rear louver on my old 280z. After 30+ years it's faded and rattles ,, hummm, kinda like me I reakon..

I had the MRT louvers on my '06 GT for a few years. Here's a rear & side pic.
Same louvers as the 10 - 14 models.

AirCare84 how did you like the louvers. I love the retro look. Did you have any issues?

They look great on your car.

Leosim,
Install was not too difficult, had to attach 6 mounting/hinge pads onto the back window glass using the supplied 3M tape. Layout took the most time. About 2 hrs to install.

Jazzman,
Had them on for 4 yrs & were still on when I traded the car. Only issue was 1 of the lower plastic mounting posts broke & I had to replace it. No rattles & no other issues.

I noticed the MRT ones have 2 vertical supports. Is there any blind spots?

Hinged @ the top. Makes for easy cleaning of the window. The newer ones also come with 2 prop rods.

I like them. I had a 70 BOSS 302 that had them, I think they look great on the PW BOSS. Matches the black accents very well and it gives it that 60's/70's muscle car look.
