6th Gen ('00-'05): Custom Rear window louvers

Custom Rear window louvers
well this was my super secret over the top mod for my Monte. They were a royal pain for the Eric the fabricator, Matt to tweak for me and then for the body shop to try and polish a turd. They are all aluminum and are made to be removed to clean the glass etc. The Chevy bow tie you see was laser cut, wanted to have a little something going on with the louvers.
My thinking is I feel they add a certain air to the cars appearance, a mystic, sinister effect. Kind of a car Darth Maul would drive.
The louvers took the fabricator 14 hours, Matt took another 8 tweaking them and the paint shop had to redo them 4 times before they let them leave their shop with their name on them. Lots of filling weld imperfections etc. but now they are like glass.
So what do you think? Did I hit a home run with these? Do they make the car or not????

I love the idea of those louvers. Plus already having black on the car with the stripes, they blend in nicely.
Am amazing one off custom job.

Why didnt they go all the way to the bottom? They look great tho. Been thinking of doing them for mine since 2009 lol but finding a fabricator is a pita. Been looking a long time.
