    That's true but hey...I saw a hatchback last week in a junk yard here that had had one on it because the hardware was still on the car. Like a sad cadaver dog, I sniffed around the area of the car in truck beds looking for the remnant of a set....no body was found

    Make one out of cardboard. And glitter. That would be awesome.

    Hehehe, you know what.... I'm very tempted!

    Nah but seriously, it shouldn't be too hard if i get some Alu sheet, pop rivet it together and spray it Satin black...
    I can't imagine it being too difficult to make...

    Re: Hatch rear window louver

    I don't see why I couldn't make it pretty straight... if I use say... 1.5mm alu it should be easy to cut straight, but not bend too easily, and if I come up with a formula to keep it progressively regular, shouldn't take too much effort...

    Re: Hatch rear window louver

    That's true, I want a hood scoop like. 79-82 Capri-mustang turbo or like an older Hemi, it's quite large and simple looking but there is a fine line of where it would look more utilitarian than sporty if it isn't just right. Kinda my point here but it never hurts to try
