Anybody have rear window louvers? Toughts? If u do can I see picture...and front spoiler?

On cars with totally flat back windows that the factory installed them on (like Mustang Boss 302's) - totally cool.

On cars with curvy, or worse, wrap around rear windows - Yuck! Every seen the louvers on a 2nd Gen Firebird? Tacky.

So for an FGF? I just say no for louvers!

Front spoiler? Cool! Rear Camaro-type spoiler, yuck! Trans-am type rear spoiler, oh yes.

Same thoughts on my 2006 Mustang. Factory rear spoiler that looks just like a '70 Boss 302 spoiler - gotta have it. Ugly flat 2007-2008 rear spoiler that looks like a tray the Sonic girl would put your burgers on, heck no.

I had a metal set on my first '68 back in the early 80's when they were in style. I have a pict on my office computer, I can post on Monday. I liked them back then. But go aluminum, not plastic.

But I am now a purest, and I would say that's a big no-no. Front or rear spoilers are an even BIGGER no-no. But it's your car...

Your car...do as you see fit. Anyone can copy a factory build and that sadly seems to be the fad these days for old cars. I hope it starts to pass...cuz nothing bores me at a car show quite like a nut & bolt $100K concourse resto... But I believe it takes true vision and guts to make a car all your own...

Fun tip: Wanna see photos of pretty much anything? Just Google search "1969 Firebird spoiler photos" (adding the word PHOTOS is the big key) and you'll find all kinds of pics for ideas, including nuggets like this little machine...for all you purists out there...

Obviously I was making a funny. Of all things my eyes gravitated to the door handles first...AWESOME...appears the owner is 1 ft 4 inches tall...

BUT...despite the fact that I find that car very gaudy looking, I sincerely respect the builder's vision and what he had the gonads to build. And I make it no secret that I'm a big fan of customization/personalization, and I very much LIKE tasteful spoilers on FGF's. Not so sure about louvers though. All joking aside, I do find this one to be very tasteful and mean looking...and I could see myself giving a 69 Bird this kind of treatment if I owned one of that year, cuz this car pretty much mirrors MY style:

And yes, I do indeed hope the mullet makes a comeback. Not joking.

Agree with you on that last photo of the black '69.

There was a time in the 80's when that 69 vert would have been totally cool, I could still have fun with it today but have become somewhat more purist, the smallblock would go.

Here is one shot looking at the back of the car:

I think I spot the famous chrome labeled mud flaps!!!

are those rallye IIs? lol

Yep, think '83 Hurst/Olds style.

nope, chrome slotted mags. Couldn't afford rally II's or tbose expensive Buick wheels.
