I had some low profile aluminum louvers on my 1977 280z. I loved them.
I saw a set of aluminum louvers for the C7 and just thought, "Why?"
If there were a set built very close to the glass with many, more than three to five louvers slats, I might be a buyer.
Anything to limit the amount of sunlight into the car is good for me.
Don't like the OP's louvers. I like mine... leaving myself open to
Keeps the car much cooler in the 110 degree Texas summers.
Those look bad too, but not as bad as the OP's. Window tint can keep your interior much cooler without the louver look. Modern tints can reject most of the IR and virtually all UV with very little darkening effect if you don't want the "tinted look".
lol, I like them, reminds me of my 1984 trans am. Of course I don't think it would help with seeing out the back and side windows. Then again, I have a convertible, so it's not something I would ever get for myself.
I remember the well made aluminum ones (or maybe they were metal) that came from the factory on the late 60's / early 70's fastback Mach 1 Mustangs. I remember thinking they were pretty weird, and also a mixed feeling that were sort of cool.
Forward into the past. The 70's louvered hatch back returns. Since I am from that time, there is a part of me that likes it. Need to think about it a little. Then again I might have forgotten to take my Meds this morning.

There are rear window louvers that are just straight slats without the kinks of these. They don't look half bad as such things go, but I still think that they look too much like a blast from the past, and $700 is way too much to reduce one's rear visibiilty.
One of the things I like about the Corvette is that it lacks fake intakes and scoops......everything on the car is functional and purposeful. These louvers are just "extra". They're like the fake side scoops on a '90s Mustang GT.
