opinion: yay granny shade or neigh granny shade?
« on: Nov 3, 2005, 02:10PM »
when I first got my car guys it had a rear window louvre. Naturally it was the first thing i took off because it was my nannas car and they like having shades on the back. a few mates have asked me why its sitting there in my carport, so now i'm thinking about putting it on again. I've got some pics to show the difference from inside and outside. pro: its white and matches the car, con: can't see fuck all from the rear view. Give us some opinions as to wether i should keep it or not. cheers.
It needs a bit of a repaint if I were to put it back on, its not shiny like the rest of the car. thats not an issue, should only need a little tin of touch up paint.

I'd say fix the pics so we can all see.

And secondly loose the granny shade, get the new darkest legal tints. Works same and looks much better.

You mean apart from the function of keeping the car that little bit cooler by blocking out some of the sun's rays? I'm assuming we're talking about those black things that go on the back windowscreen? :) :)

My corsair had a louvre on it for a little while, it wasn't too bad. Yeah it restricts visibility a little, but you get used to it pretty quick and then you don't even know it's there.

hmm i should get better hosting, but i agree with the majority. i think the granny shade will sit there and rot. primarily cos u can't see fuck all out of the back.

how much would yo sell it for on eBay...cos im still trying to convince parents that it'll be better off on my Pintara...
they say "your passengers will appreciate it..." but i have to drive it all the time...the passengers will put up without
it...so if i can flog it off on eBay....what asking price or "reserve"?

Just get some decent tint.

Though I don't think rear window louvres aren't too bad, I don't mind them.
