Hmmm... you'd think these would fit flat against the rear glass of a GT too as in that matte black GT ??

I have seen louvers in general as a pain because Most block rear view. Most, if not all, above will do this.

Fiero already have problems w/ that, like have problems backing out of parking space at a store or view left right side traffic at some intersections.
Notchies have a huge blind spot, GT w/o "windows" in rear clip are even worse for this

Then you have to mess w/ them every time you need to open the rear deck for many above.

Louvers can interfere w/ cooling the Fiero engine bay. Air flow behind rear window does a good job a sucking hot air from vent covers. Unlike most, I've actually done some real testing to see how hot engine bay temp when cars is moving. Driving just even a few MPH and the temp drops to about same as weather temp.

I'd say nay too.

Not sure what's going on with that white notchie exactly, but the extension of the sail panels looks interesting there.

I second the notchie sail panel lip extension is pretty cool. Subtle. I'm digging it. They can keep the louvers.
Anybody know anything about the lip thingy?

Hard to tell in the photo, too dark in the area. But ill guess the little 'extensions' are what the louver slats are attached to, so its all one piece. I dont think theyd be attached to the actual glass.
