I think it would work if the fins were very very shallow with a bunch of them grouped very close together. It would have to have that just noticable difference look to the casual observer.
Forget the garish, horrible paint and think of the louvers in black.......These are one-off's, I am sure, but they fit the profile of the rear of the car relatively well. More modern than Boss 302....ish louvers
[QUOTE=V-Fib;9782962]I think if tastefully done, they would look nice....beats the hell out of window film, imho.....The hot texas sun has faded 2 cargo mats within a couple of months.... I know I could cover the mat with something, but would it look as nice as the mat? Probably not.....
I'm reminded of the fellow that had side pipes on his 928...I thought he did a nice job visually...........He was a brave (or misguided) dude.......
Hmmm I know that dude-

If you are going with louvers on the hatch glass - you really need to extend them across the rear quarter windows too for any real benefit in reduced heat load. Then for balance it only makes sense to also do the front side windows.
Should look excellent if it all matches - and nobody will be able to see you from the sides or rear anyway - so just drive like a bat out of hell all the time!
I think its an unusual & great idea and you should just fully commit to it - In for a penny...

On the internet you get the opinions for free!
Honestly, without knowing someone personally it's nigh impossible to reliably detect sarcasm, but I'm surprised you're actually surprised/dismayed, it's just razzing. All in good fun. Probably
Personally, I think the louvers look cool when they're more flat, as opposed to trying to cover a curved piece of glass like the Vette in your picture. Think the early '70s Vettes....those looked good.
As for newer vehicles, I'm pretty sure they are standard on a Lamborghini Huracan if you don't want to sprint for the huge glass engine cover (hopefully no one has already pointed this out). I like them there...I do think they look awkward on the curved glass though. Now...on a 928 that glass isn't really curved, but you have the side windows I suspect the effect would be the same.

I just think some people should think before they post and realize that an ugly (to you) 928 is better than a dead one and just be supportive. I'm going to shell out a lot of money on this project and I don't want it to be a negative experience, but I will not be told how to style my own car. I went through the same thing over on miatanet and wound up with many friends. I hope this will be the same (with an extra decimal place in all the bills of course).
