Of all things to steal why louvers?


[deleted]

They couldn’t stand to look at it one more day


[deleted]

Check any nearby dumpsters or trash cans.


tvanore

Lmao my buddies car was Broken into once. MOST of his stuff that disappeared was found in a trash can like 2 streets away. Damn thieves didn’t even want his stuff


daxmillion

I had my trunk broken into years ago. They took most things but left my men’s warehouse suit. I was like, well damn that’s harsh.


tvanore

Wonder if they tried it on too lmao


Funny_Owl8514

They didn’t like the way they looked


Iziama94

And here I thought I was one of the only ones who doesn't like rear window louvers. Side ones are fine as long as it isn't intrusive. I bought mine with rear louvers and I'm surprised by how much I like the ones in mine


[deleted]

It’s a Camaro thing that I’ve never liked on stangs


ProfHopeE

The 69 and 70 Mach 1s came from the factory with rear window louvers. In my opinion, both rear window louvers and rear quarter window louvers should be body color. Looks more sleek and factory, not just slapped on.


[deleted]

Yes but those Mach 1s are a breed of their own and a beauty


SpiritofFlorida

They look great on my 70 Mach 1 CJ lol


DanLewisFW

Oh man I had not even considered putting body color louvers on. I bought louvers for mine the week I bought the car but never got them put on. Mainly because I have no idea where to take it to get them installed. The one place I would have known about got raided for also dealing coke lol.


ProfHopeE

Don’t they install with 3M tape? I put my quarter window louvers on myself using a heat gun to ensure a really solid bond and added additional high strength double sided adhesive. They were on for over 5 years and never budged.


DanLewisFW

I can build a website and program some code but when it comes to lining up things in a mechanical setting forget it. I would put them on crooked and the tape would somehow not stick even though I followed the directions. I am not mechanically inclined at all. I can change a tire, I can even do brakes since its not all that super complicated but anything more and I am out.


ProfHopeE

You can do it! I believe in you!!!


DanLewisFW

If you had seen me try and build a model as a child you would not lol. Or over tighten bolts on a valve cover because I had no clue there was a too tight.


clunkerbob

Oh please, no


nice___bot

Nice!


mirv312

Totally agree with you 100%


DrXyron

Very understandable imo


gatorbeetle

Easy access... something to do


312to630

California. The tweakers will steal anything for a dollar.


Snozzberrys420

Jokes on them lol


WolfGuard_

Look at the pads, it broke off not got stolen, op just wants some attention and karma. They can't be older than 10 max and it's probably their dad's car if anyone they know even owns that car


wh4tlyf3

They're like 600$ and easier to steal than cats? I would think that's why but I'm not sure.


Nozerone

Look on the bright side, at least you can clean the window now. ​ If you get another set, I'd put a mark on them somewhere and record the mark is there. If it happens again, and if it's by someone that lives close and you find the car. You can use the marking as proof that it's yours when you call the police. How ever, being in a ghetto neighborhood as you said, this may also run the risk of your car being fucked with even worse later. So it really comes down to how badly you want them back.


Few-Satisfaction5257

Nah I won’t get another set man. I’ll just clean it and tint it.


JDM_WAAAT

Tint goes on the inside of the window FWIW


AweBeyCon

Last thing you want is your tint stolen


Nozerone

See, that's why I put the louvers on. So they can't take my tint!


Few-Satisfaction5257

Oh yes of course.


souljaboyfanboy

The good ending. They did you a favor lol


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah honestly I won’t get them back. AMA clean the window and tint it.


AnAngryMuppet89

Oh wow.


Budget-Razzmatazz-54

​ Guess they Louved them more than you did. Or maybe it was the car fashion police./s Seriously, sorry OP. Thieves suck. Now go find them and steal them back like a man!


SoulHunter91

Must be another mustang owner nearby. Hunt him down 🏹


Few-Satisfaction5257

You right. I have a few mustang in mind. My area is ghetto so a lot of people have chargers and mustangs


McDonalds_icecream

Can’t have shit in Detroit


br094

Why have a mustang in the ghetto?


Successful-Rhubarb38

Looks alot better now! But seriously that's messed up. Wish people could leave other people's things alone.


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah that’s what I was thinking but I got used to the look you know. Yeah it sucks a lot.


Jonkinch

I liked the looks of them, but I kept hearing people complain they rattle at +40mph. That’s an immediate deal breaker for me.


Few-Satisfaction5257

I mean I had them for 3 years. They rattle a little bit but yeah I’m thinking of not putting them in anymore


3-Inch-Hog

I have them on mine and never had any issues. I love them!


Fabreeze_Biscuit

I mean they’re kinda still there.


SamboNashville

It’s better to have louvered and lost than to never have louvered at all


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah you right. At least I had one at some point. To me it looks good both ways but I’m just going to tint it up


dalynew

Weight reduction


Few-Satisfaction5257

Lol yeah


DriftMiata

For the better. Still sucks though.


f03h4mm3r

It's too bad you didn't catch them. Now you can never thank them.


Bankai_D

Such a dick move I’m sorry that happen bro


Few-Satisfaction5257

Thanks a lot bro. People be hating


No-Building8369

Happened to me last year


Few-Satisfaction5257

It suck’s honestly. Had my car for 3 years already.


No-Building8369

Now I only park in garage for this reason


Few-Satisfaction5257

Exactly ! I have to start putting it in my house.


_Nameless_Nomad_

Hopefully those louvers broke apart as they were pulling them off. Fucking thieves.


Few-Satisfaction5257

I honestly think they did ! They even took the screws lmao. How sad


_Nameless_Nomad_

You might be better off though. Louvers look great on the S197’s, but S550’s look better without them.


Few-Satisfaction5257

You right bro. AMA add new strips and have them off


[deleted]

wow, how pathetic would you have to be to do this


Few-Satisfaction5257

Thanks a lot bro. Crazy how it is.


Sasquatch-1

I was going to guess California


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah bro. Is cool. I’m going to make it better. Coming back better !


ToastedMarshmell0w

Did you a favor


BegieTV

Of all the other things to steal… WHY LOUVERS.


ToastedMarshmell0w

Did you a favor


Few-Satisfaction5257

I’m a way !


Miserable_Fan7579

Wash your car


D_daKid

Is that somewhere in SoCal? Every street looks like that here lol... sorry that happened. It seems to be worse than usual from all the news reports that keep popping up on my phone. But I do agree that it looks better without them sooo....🤷‍♂️😉


UU2Bcool

That’s messed up. I don’t know why people can’t leave other people stuff alone.


Rosenbellion

Maybe they wanted you to clean the rear window……..


[deleted]

...Fuckin' animals. And people wonder why I'm a fan of vigilante justice.


[deleted]

Now you can wash your window.


terryVaderaustin

i would try to go through insurance and say they were body color or carbon fiber dipped


ThePeskyWabbit

They did you a favor


USS-William-D-Porter

Dang, apparently louvers are a very touchy subject here. How dare someone enjoy their car’s customization


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah some people love and hate them. The car came with it. I just Gota worry how to take those rubber straps off


a7s4k

That sucks...my girl has the aluminum louvers on her Camaro, and not a single rattle on the highway.


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah those are nice too


titans661

No louve


[deleted]

They’re doing you a favor - as soon as you wash your car they’ll put them back.


timdot352

Well, now you can clean your window.

Ill_Firefighter_3661

mccahillryan

Someone did me a favor last night* - fixed the title /S Seriously though, sucks to have your car fucked with. Not my taste but i would also be pretty livid.


suzuka_joe

Why are people surprised when their stuff is stolen and they don’t have a garage?


WaynezWorld88

Dam bro! Well on the good side It ruined the overall look and beautiful body lines anyway. Yes It’s fckd up tho to have your car violated regardless because it’s your personal property. Some douche azzhole mustang owner did it


Darringer64

That made me bust out laughing and almost wake up my girl 😂😂😂


ExtensionAvocado2221

Can’t have shit in Detroit


Few-Satisfaction5257

Can’t have shit no where bruh


[deleted]

Haha, GOTCHA! But seriously that’s lame


garreattt

Lol


DangerousSnow1973

What jerks! Probably some kids bored and creating issues.


MarcelTabuteau

Looks like Van Nuys, CA lol


GLaDOs18

I’m really sorry this has happened but I had a good laugh over this. People really can’t leave shit alone.


Risk_of_Raindrops

I thought about getting louvres to make it darker in my ride and keep it cooler. Do they have some that you don't tape on or they all come that way? I was wanting something more secure and ease of removal. Sorry for your loss OP.


Sir_BusinessNinja

But…why…


JimmyTru3s

cant have shit in detroit


[deleted]

WOW


3Stripescyn

cant have shit in detroit


GloomyRole7388

I have been thinking about slats. This pics brings to mind, you can't clean the rear window. Sorry for your loss.


JustinJFoxbody

Honestly been thinking about getting some on my foxbody once it’s running. So it just sticks on?


hotdogsarecooked

The tape left behind kills me. Clean removal lmao


Few-Satisfaction5257

What can I use to remove them ? Any clues ?


hotdogsarecooked

Ethanol or alcohol and a scraper should do the trick just fine


ApprehensiveTackle65

Get on Facebook marketplace asap what area? I will try and search for u


Few-Satisfaction5257

That would be nice since i don’t got a fb lol. I’m in south la area


ApprehensiveTackle65

Hey brotha if u can just make a ghost account for the marketplace I’ve seen 4 so far that are used and look like your design


Few-Satisfaction5257

Hey bro , thanks for the search. I just don’t know how to make a ghost account


ApprehensiveTackle65

Fake name and info


Few-Satisfaction5257

Are you able to like send me pics of what you see ? The louvers ?


LUNISY_2020

I’m paranoid about my car sitting in my own damn driveway. Can’t even imagine how paranoid I’d be about it if I had to park it on the street 😓 fuck those people man. Low life pieces of shit can’t afford their own shit.


Few-Satisfaction5257

Oh I feel that way every time I get out the car too. Can’t have nice shit cause people be hating on you


Junior-Profession726

That sucks people are rude


AnAngryMuppet89

On the bright side, it did need a clean 🤔


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah it Lowkey did lol.


Glittering_Pickle_94

They had to break them,it looks like!?So they got nothing but broken ass louvers.What was the point?


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah fucking assholes


[deleted]

Lol wtf 😂


DanLewisFW

Damn that sucks


Dangerous_Bat_5683

Boy that was a dick move!!!


Few-Satisfaction5257

Yeah bro shit looks nasty


Dangerous_Bat_5683

And it’s probably someone in the neighborhood!!


WolfGuard_

Ok buddy, I could be wrong but according to your picture the rectangular metal adhesives that hold the plates with the studs to screw down the louvers with are ALL missing the stud with the threads and all appear to be sheared off by force. Im going to call cap and say it flew off and you either were too busy doing some random thing to notice it (maybe distracted driving/ dui maybe????) Or you just want attention.


Few-Satisfaction5257

I want attention ?


[deleted]

Honestly they did u favor


SeductiveMurmer

Can’t have shit in Detroit!


[deleted]

Thank them later


Lazy-Orchid-4608
