Hey Paul. How hard would it be to make these? http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/AST1159.htm Don't know if there would be much of a demand. I love mine. It provides more privacy and less sunlight penetration. My complaints with the Astro Hammond's are the plastic is a little flimsy and it has curled in some areas due to the engine heat and it's also bulky. It comes out around 2 inches past the glass which I think isn't necessary if the louvres were angled down more.

Would be a pain to make & like most everything else only one person would probably buy it.
EDIT: Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
EDIT again: Can you downsize that image so that folks don't have to side scroll my thread to read it?

True but I'm liking the louvre look! When it finally melts away I'll pick up some tint

Yes. You're probably right. Really no need for the pic so I deleted it.
Thanks for looking!

How does the rear Mustang scoop attach? Does it have bolts glassed in like some of the scoops I have seen? I like it.

It's made to bond/mold in. I could 'glass in some studs but it would take a little time & I'd have to find a source for studs (like the spoiler studs - they are readily available). The thing is it's made to fit well on the fastback decklid, but it really needs to be molded in on a notchie. I could do a slight re-design to fit the notchie better, but more time...(how many will I sell, again?).

Driver you have a pic of the STM deckled scoop resting in place from the back or corner but like 5 ft away?

Sorry, no. What is it you're trying to determine? Just what it looks like at the same level as the decklid?
