Only if it is paired with a REO Speedwagon t-shirt. LOL.

 

Louvers only really helped if you had a hatch without tinting so it wasn't a travelling greenhouse, or if you had no choice but to drive in the winter and it prevented the hatch from being completely coated in ice.

I had a '86 (okay, the 80's....whoopie) Nissan 300ZX that had a louver that was a godsend when a) we lived in VA and I needed to drive to work in the winter, and when I drove it all the way to southern TX in July, that louver was the only thing that kept my cats alive since the a/c died before I left the state.

Louvers would IMHO, take away from the smooth appearance of the XF.

 

or a Molly Hatchet shirt

 

I will do that the same time I hang the dice on the mirror, put Xmas lights around all the windows and build a small shrine on top of the dash ......... like never.

 

Had a set on my 75 Starfire. Thought at the time it was cool.

But, at the time, I thought bell bottom pants were cool also.

Cut down summer heat and the view into my hatch back.

Cut the view out of my hatchback as well.

And,

It wore out the gas shocks on the hatch door. Buggar was heavy.

I don't think it fits on my roadster and Cathy says no. Which kinda settles it for me.

NO.

That said, it did seem to spoil the aerodynamic lift. Not objecionable in appearance.

To each his own

People I need pics of louvers why may you ask. I found a company in buffalo ny that is willing to work with me. And maybe make them for back window and side ones for our car. He talked about two different styles and they would ship!

 

You get them made and I will buy them. I think there is a thread on here with examples. I like the smaller type. I know louvers are 80's but I think they will look great.

 

The owner was a nice person to talk too. He stated the 80"s style and the lovers that they punch into a car hood.

 

You all have Dog'ged outdated louvers Soooo bad,that I'm now wanting to make a set for my car. It can be done nicely! Squirrel Crusher

 

Saw a 280zx today... Louvers on it looked great. If done right can add an exotic look to the car. So let's get on this and fid a guy that can make them look great and attach to our glass hatch without destroying it.

 

But what about that crown air freshener on your motorcycle?

 

I think they'd be OK...theyre different and have a retro look that seems to sell alot of cars today....challenger, camero etc.

Besides, nobody else has them and they would give the xf a bigger dose of what kinda car is that?!

 

Putting all snides aside, I recall that these things really reduced interior heat a lot (early Boss 302 Mustang, looked pretty good on that car. Oh, by-the-by, aren't bell bottoms are making a come back also.

 

They looked pretty good on my Z

 

Nice car.... I was going to say that looks like Dallas.

 

yea had them on my 84 Z28 also !!! I liked them on the boss mustang but would not put them on my 03 GTR mustang some times you just cant go back !!!!!!

 

I talked to the buffalo company and they want too much money to make the first one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

How much money do they want?

 

They were talking over 1000 for first one

 

I know it's an old thread, but I saw a "new" Camaro today that had Louvers in the rear window.
I guess somebody in the "Bow Tie" Brigade came up with a $1000 to have one made.
