So Im a big fan of the Fox body mustangs. Grew up around them. How cool would it be to keep the tonneau cover retracted and have a giant louver over the bed. What are your thoughts?

You could 3D print some to shade the rear passenger windows or even the rear roof section, but I'm not sure how it'd look.

…there is a thing called tint

why decrease the already poor visibility out the rear?

I also wonder what drag hit this would impose.

If the louvers are angled properly, it wouldn't interfere with visibility out the back significantly (the small rear window would still be an issue). Might not be a significant drag penalty since it is still keeping the air from dropping down into the bed/hitting the tailgate. Would certainly be fascinating to run it in a wind tunnel.

Bumping this thread. Is anyone working on creating these? Would look awesome.

If you were clever, you could create it to float either over or replace the tonneau cover.

-Crissa
I think it would float over and leave the tonneau as is. You'd just bolt it to the mounting points.
