No, intended to be removable mounted inside

Thanks, I think the windows are the same
The concept is easy, I think somebody could come up with a perfect fitting, and therefore better looking unit if they had enough time and patience.

Plus there are no doubt better materials to use, at more expense.

I've been wonder for the last several weeks...whats the point...is it just for looks? I thought they went on the outside of the car?

Wouldn't this give the same effect....j/k...lol?

To protect the rear deck and seats from the deadly solar rays, of course

If you like the looks, then it's for the looks! Do it in body color or even 555 nanometer green!

If you hate the looks, do it in flat invisible black, because you know functionality rules!

But the main reason is I've still got creative demons lurking inside that must be excor-sized

and the very, very slim chance I come up with something that costs $5.00 to make and can sell for $20.00

For God sakes, man it's the American dream, don't you understand?

Well by all means have at it...lol!

In 1984 I was in second grade

Ten years later, I finished high school

Ten years aafter that, I was working at pepsi for 9 years

Ten year after that, hasn't happened yet

Got a mounting bracket in place. Made out of 1/8" x 1/2" x 3' aluminum stock. It survived the first test drive.



Since the material is so fragile, I don't expect it to last too long. When it starts to discolor, I'll see if it can take a coat of paint. This grade of foamboard is only paper covered, after all. It's $11.00 / sheet retail. The better quality stuff, "Gatorboard," is plastic covered, and about $60.00 / sheet. (That's when mistakes get costly).

I might go back in and try to correct the cutting mistakes, which are too obvious in that white color. Only other thing is you lose 2" of headroom to the rear glass. At 5' 8", there's room to spare for me, but if you're tall, you'd have to slouch over

Serious greg i understand about the demons LMAO !!! And it looks great ! We must be pretty close to the same age LOL at least pretty close keep up the good /manic work !!!! I am 6" 2" and have no intention of sitting in my own back seat

[hok666]

actually its pretty cool.. I mean it would be nice if I could have one of those to block out sun light for when my baby is in the back seat.

Did I say flat invisible black? Damn near, almost doesn't photograph w/o flash lol

[billytheman1188]

I like the idea BUT i think it would look a lot more bad ass if it didn't have the "steps" on each side....idk how to explain it but if it was just a flat piece from the top to bottom on each side i think it would make it look more slick. Get what i'm saying?

Yeah, I think I do, actually, it would black out the sides for a cleaner look. Then maybe light tint on the side windows.

[Nas Escobar]

I like, but I take it that there isn't any material out there to be able to place them outside like this?



I honestly feel they would look good on our cars if they had your "steps" but outside like this. Would give it a more sporty look in my opinion.

[billytheman1188]

^ yeaaa that's pretty sexy. A lot of double sided tape would do the trick lol

[happyisthealero]

3M double sided tape would be best

[wws944]

For an alternate approach, I wonder if some power rear sunshade could be adapted? These are options on a number of higher end cars nowadays. (My wifes car has one. It is pretty nifty.)

[sleepyalero]

It would be sweet if when parked you could make the louvers fold shut like blinds, so it blocks the sun.

That mustang looks terrible with it!

[AleroB888]

I'm going for something different, more recessed but low cost and maintenance. Still, I need to get a rear window glass piece to do better mock-ups, a perfect fit will look much better. It did on the Saturn I had decades ago. But another problem with the white color was the reddish defroster lines messed with the looks, you can't see them as much with the black. Might go black metalflake

[Alerojester]

hey now i was born in 1984 lol, and those louvers were around on cars around here till i was like 15 damn i feel old now. i see a lot of trucks around here on farms with them its kinda stupid looking on a pickup but cars it looks way better

[xXManwhoreXx]

Theres an rx7 around here with external ones it looks boss
