Not quite sure if I like them. I'll leave them on for now, and if I don't like it, I'll sell it.

I think they look good. I had a set on my '70 Cuda back in '73 and liked them then. I traded the Cuda for a car that I can't even remember now what it was.

I like it, but the only thing that matters is if YOU do.

I installed a set of the 3 piece metal ones on my '80 back in the day and I hated them and took them right off. Those one piece lovers are how it's supposed to look.

Looks mean, Steve. And it's got to cool down the interior some in the sun.

Even if I'm not a bubble rear window fan, but I got to admit those louvers are cool and give a complementary touch to the whole styling.
Good job.
