Question about rear window Louvers

A little while back ago I was admiring this guys Camaro (I think he said it was a 84) and I noticed he had a louver on the rear window but unlike most Camaros his louver only went from the top to a quarter of the way down the back window. I have only ever seen them cover the complete back window, then I was thinking maybe he was using a louver meant for a 1981 with the smaller back window. Is it possible to use a louver from a 81 for a 83? Or to get one for a 83 that is quarter of the way down?

Any tips or websites would be helpful, Thanks.

I've seen those rear window sunshades (hard to call them louvers)

I think they are cool, wouldn't mind having one myself
