Default back window louvers?

I have a burgandy 2006 mustang with gold racing stripes. I am going to put louvers on the side windows but I was wondering if they would look good on the back window? They would be painted burgandy but would it look to 80's?? And should I put the gold stipes on them? Please let me know what yall think.........

Putting the stripes on the louvers could look good, but i doubt it.

Put the louvers on, don't paint them and do not put stripes on them. They are meant to be black just like they were in the 60/70's.

I love the look of my rear louvers But I honestly don't think they would look good painted or with stripes. Remember black goes with everything.

black louvers look good on the white mustang and the orange but I think some painted the same color as my car would look better.....on my car. Does anyone have a picture of a car with the same color side and back louvers?? I would love to dec out my car......send your pics to me!!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for the opinion. I guess I could get black ones for the entire car and put them on and then decide? I have seen alot with side louvers only and one with the back louvers (in person) but I have not seen any with both... and I have never seen one with the stripes down the louvers. I just though it would look good.??

go take some pics of your car from the rear, and maybe someone could do some photo shopping and give you a bit of an idea. But I like your thinking, start with them black and go from there. No doubt they will look awesome.

go to www.photobucket.com make an account, upload from there, then copy & paste the IMG code, it is real easy and that is how everyone on here post pics.

I personally am not a fan of that color combo, but yeah i would say stay with the black louvers. Im probably going with black quarter window louvers for mine and possible the rear window louvers, But then again i do have a grabber orange. Stick with the Black with no stripes though.
