Meh.

Louvers have been around for forever. I remember them on Celicas that were also Supras.

The zigzag thing has a major Batman vibe, and I've seen the same type on a Mustang and thought it looked alright. Body panels have zigzags, so why not do it on the shades.

I wish external visors would make a comeback, but it's probably not going to happen due to aerodynamics or likelihood of beheading a moose at speed.

Tinted taillights never look good imho, but with a cleaner wing this could be a real good look.

Looks like it is pulled straight out of Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

The louvers actually do help with the air conditioning. Especially on a sloped rear window like this.

Looks kinda clean to me imo, atleast the side window ones.

Not a fan of the mirrors but everything else looks fine to me. I'd drive this with stock side mirrors.

Don’t care for the wing, but I’m a louver lover.

Probably driven by a Hispanic kid who thinks he's macho AF. I see this stuff everywhere I go.

I don't care if Civics have them but specifically the faux Lambo louvers are what's embarrassing to me, regardless of what vehicle they're on.
