Re: Post your pic of Rear Window Louver
Any help would be great - I need the mounting brackets to actually install on my car but I had to sit them on just to get this beautiful picture
My car, just found these near by but it didn't come with the hatch half of the mounts so if anyone has any leads on a full set?
I basically need a full set of brackets - 2 of each # 7, 8, 9 ,& 10

Re: Post your pic of Rear Window Louver
I havent seen any louvers quite like mine. The first post is similar, but the side openings on mine are much smaller than his. My sides are plastic, while the center is aluminum. Any one know if these were a factory option for 1983? RPO sheets werent put into cars until 1985 or so (ay least not in the center console), so I have no real way of knowing what the factory options were.

This style of louvers was not a factory option. Also, louvers were not available from the factory in 1983 or 1984. Factory louvers didn't become an option until 1986.

Re: Post your pic of Rear Window Louver
Owner's manuals are usually printed before the product release, so there's a chance that they wanted to have them available for 1984, but didn't make the production timeline.
The 1987 brochure states that the 5.7 liter engine will be available in limited quantity, but there were plenty built. I've also seen documentation for a '91 RS that shows it with the incorrect taillights. We all know that the 91 and 92 cars had the grid taillights.
The RPO code DE1 for rear window louvers, wasn't available on the options order sheet until 1986. They might have been an over the counter part before that, but they weren't marked as factory parts.

My first 3rd gen had metal louvers. I was in HS at the time and threw them away. That and the factory radio. I want both now.

I found these Cragar Black Magic II louvers the other day while out buying parts. Too bad the kit is incomplete, no center slats or hardware. They are brand new, never been installed.

GotGrunt, do you still have those side pieces? If so, would you be willing to ship to Texas?
