Hi guys

Have a 1976 Datsun 260Z that I am working on. Lots of things to do as you know - but nice project and coming along just great.

I want to spruce it up a bit - anyone running side louvers? I have the rear louvers and love the way it keeps the sun out of the car - and want to do the same on the side windows.

I have seen some that look great but not very often...

Welcome to the forum Tony.

I'm restoring a 260Z myself and decided to ditch my back louvers (I have two sets) and wouldn't go with side louvers either as it would make the blind spot bigger.

What I am going to do is go with a tint that cuts the UV and visible light. Good tints weren't available back in the S30 heyday so folks went with the louvers.

BTW, where are you? In North America 260Zs were available only in 1974. If you've got a 1976 260Z you could be in Europe or Down Under ...
