Maybe we could think of them not as louvers, but rather lots of little spoilers

FlyingDog

I think they are too high off the glass and too high up the glass. Other than that, I think they look cool. (no pun intended)

SharkSkin

It does look a little like an over-inflated Z. Definitely unique, and an interesting look. Would be interesting to see how it holds up at speed.

a guy here in Sin city has done this to his shark

At the end of the louver craze, I remember seeing a couple of hatchbacks having a louver-like item inside the car. It still protected the cabin from the elements, but it wasn't too obnoxious from the outside.

If keeping heat out of the cabin is the main purpose (with areodynamics being a very close second) you may want to try to fabricate something like that. Or better yet, fabricating an automated sun screen like the modern cars of today.

I love it. DEFINITELY drop it down. How heavy? Would plastic be an option? I want one, it makes the car look more like the old school Lambos.

I ended up dropping it down to right above the glass. The lines do not match the spoiler as well, but the overall look on the car is improved due to the lowering. Now that it is lower, my rear wiper would be non-functional if I were to repair the motor. HA HA! I guess I can take that off my list for a while. I appreciate all the feedback. My 90-100mph tests have been good and it weighs about 19lbs. If it ends up growing on me over the next month or two, I may have to talk to a few aquaintances in the plastics business to see what they could fabricate using my model.

That looks better...

I think all the tints, even the lightest, knock the infrared back about the same. Lightest is closer to OK at night and definitely helps with heat.

Roger, my brother had an inside louver installation for the hatch glass of his 924 which he got as a special order item from Porsche shortly after he bought the car new.

I like it, reminds me of the 80's, mullets, and Z28's.

Was at a presentation once by the guy who was responsible for the design; he said that with the big glass hatch on top and the twin exhausts underneath it made an ideal turkey oven

Since there is a definite need here to reduce heat and given that almost anything is a compromise, I like it. The designers were trying to avoid straight lines on the shark. If the right angles on the corners of the louvers could be softened, curved, I think it would be less disruptive to the original design concepts. I also agree that a lower profile, closer to the glass might be better.

Functionally how is it wrt wind noise? very nicely done.

I can believe it took some time - I bet test fitting was a bear too! hope you ddn't pick up any scratches that way!

All in all I think it looks good and is a great solution for protecting the already old interior from more heat damage.
