I recommend this for those on a tight car budget. This adds a nice look to the car, but I will warn you that it fits tight under the trunk lid and may rub paint from the surface unless you put some foam tape where the lid closes. The problems I have from mine is the install makes quite a challenge to get it in place correctly (you WILL need two-three people and the trunk lid has to be half-open). The instructions have you mark spots on the window, while I found that quite difficult the way this thing mounts. I suggest cleaning with alcohol, pull the tape backing, and TWO people hover it above the window, while a third moves the trunk lid to check for clearance to shut it. The warnings include no auto washes except touchless (the toweled ones can catch this thing and rip it apart) and allow for a good amont of cure time (I ran the a/c full hot for about 30 minutes blowing on the back glass to speed cure time with the car in the garage overnight). You can see pretty well out the back, contrary to popular belief. I like mine except after a few months the foam padding underneath starts separating from the plastic and the sun beating down on the louvers makes the bow upward somewhat when hot. I think this is exaggerated when wind starts catching it during driving. The fasteners are no more than stainless plates with thread welded on, stainless washers, and PLASTIC nuts that look similar to those you thread onto your valve stems of your tires. Bang-for-your buck in a 1-5 rating? I give it a low 4. I'm not impressed, but it was cheap and looks good. If I could do it again, I would've just saved up for the $400 aluminum ones.Get more detail about Astra Hammond 1467 Louvers Mustang 2005.
