Wow. Rear window louvers. That's an '80s thing. Seemed that every Trans Am and Z28 had them back in the day. I even bought a set for my 1973 Mach 1. I dunno if anybody manufactured them for the XJS back in the '80s, seems to me that the coupe rear window would be a bit too vertical for them to look good....that and the rear "flying buttresses" would prevent them from being viewed from the side. They seemed to look better on cars with a more horizontal rear window, such as fastbacks and hatchbacks. But, they were a hot accessory back then, and if they thought there would be enough of a market for it, anything is possible.

Great Scott... I (kind of) want to see pictures of this. Where are all the photoshop experts?

 

uhmm, i might be wrong, but my first assumption was that he was asking about the vinyl rear window trim.

rear louvers on a coupe would be weird. the glass is too steep.

 

M90, I pray you're right! LOL

 

Autoplas didnt make a rear louvre for XJS

 

Please put away the crack pipe and more sane thoughts will soon return. God speed.

 

Had them on my mini in 1980
