Installed some rear-window louvers for my Mustang

MidnightViper88 · 5th March 2005, 23:14

W00t!

Old-school coolness for my late-model Fox-body! None of you probably care but I wanna show it off anyway...

Buy a DeLorean.

fwgx · 6th March 2005, 00:35

You know when I was in the US the other week I didn't see one decent looking car that wasn't European. American cars on the whole are fugly as hell.

ElChevelle · 6th March 2005, 00:40

Get the fuck out!
I haven't seen rear window louvers since like 1984.

Atmo · 6th March 2005, 00:50

Dump the louvres and get some venetians.

Much more old school.

k_rock923 · 6th March 2005, 02:16

They look cool, MV.

Mattress · 6th March 2005, 04:34

that looks ridiculous

MidnightViper88 · 6th March 2005, 04:38

You just don't get it...

General Geoff · 6th March 2005, 04:39

Very nice. I used to have those same wheels on my '85 Thunderbird Turbocoupe, btw. You should look into some '87-'88 16" Turbocoupe wheels

Yeah, these 15" 10-hole wheels are the same time of wheels that have been used on the standard GTs of earlier Fox-body wheels, but I wanna get a set of the 16" Pony wheels, found on the 1991-1993 5.0s...

Those would be the best...

Or the Turbine wheels from the 1993 SVT Cobra...

My old favortie car used to be the Lexus IS, but then they changed it (made it look more like an average tuner car) and I laid my eyes on the Chrysler 300, which became my new favorite.

Don't forget i'm talking about cars I would actually buy, not my dream car or anything.

Their my favorite cars I like to see riding around.
(btw, I know alot of people say the 300 is a bulky car, but it's a really nice car - honestly!)

MidnightViper88 · 6th March 2005, 05:15

You can't compare cars and computers unless you're talking RAM and horsepower...

Print · 6th March 2005, 05:18

Or price in some ppl's cases.

Yeah i'm saying it, it makes me smile when you have a PC worth more than your car. (That is if you care about your car, which some ppl don't).

Mattress · 6th March 2005, 05:22

I meant for you, putting those things on your car was like a nerd installing linux on an apple II

Pointless, yet somehow cool.

if your PC cost more than your car you either have a completely shite car or you got ripped off buying your PC.

They still serve a purpose...

Given how hot it gets here in Kentucky during the summer, and that I've got a hatchback, I don't want the shit in the hatch area to get hot with the sun beating down on it...I could throw towels over my stuff, but that's way beyond dorky...

Well I know some people that have really good laptops, that are like CAN$2000, and their cars are around $1500.

Mattress · 6th March 2005, 05:27

a $1500 car is probably not a very good car.

MidnightViper88 · 6th March 2005, 05:32

My dad got a 1968 Plymouth Belvedere with it's original straight-6 engine for around $1800...Even for a car to restore, it was in pretty good condition to start off with, with little roughness in the interior and exterior, and for something that's almost 4 decades old, still had 20-grand clocked on the odo...

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 6th March 2005, 05:53

I think the louvers look pretty good, MnV.

Heh, see my car thread. That's pretty much what I payed if I convert it to US dollars.

That's Canadian too, which is a bit less. (though we're catching up

)

General Geoff · 6th March 2005, 06:26

$1500 can get you a damn-good car, depending on the location and supply & demand. I've personally never payed more than $1200 for any car I've owned, and that $1200 was for a 1992 Crown Victoria in awesome condition.

Hollow · 6th March 2005, 06:37

man louvers have to one of the best things to come out of the 80's

shakey_snake · 6th March 2005, 06:40

I've always thought that era of mustangs were recockulous, but in a good way.

The louvers only add to that.

Next, I'd like to see a pic you next to it wearing a tight acid washed jean jacket(or red leather jacket) with the collar turned up.

[edit] YOu gonna get a Gall-wing door kit next?

Hollow · 6th March 2005, 08:20

gull like the bird, not gall like the bladder.

Maybe if you cut the jeans off to make them Larry Bird-length shorts.

Ooooooooooooooooooooh.
I was just discussing Larry Bird shorts earlier watching No Carolina dispatch Duke.

They have a US branch of the company, but Nissan is originally Japanese. See here.

Wolfgang · 7th March 2005, 16:44

no offense but that doesn't look like a mustang. Looks like a pretty ordinary car. this is my idea of a mustang:

MidnightViper88 · 8th March 2005, 02:55

Fine...You buy me a '67-'68 and you pay for the insurance if you get one with a 390 V8...

Wolfgang · 8th March 2005, 10:02

When I'm emperor of the world I could buy you one or a thousand of those, but unfortunately it would go against my empire's policy of no cars.

General Geoff · 8th March 2005, 10:12

No cars?!?

Wolfgang · 8th March 2005, 10:19

Not until some alternative fuel is developed that does not pollute the environment so much. Which isn't going to happen, so they're banned. All transport will be via public transport or bicycle. It will be hard to adapt to begin with, but future generations will not know what having a car was like, hence they won't miss them.
