Want to add that bold, retro muscle car vibe to your Dodge Challenger without a full body kit or flashy mods? Rear window shutters — also known as rear window louvers — are a timeless styling upgrade that never goes out of fashion.
Inspired by the legendary muscle cars of the ‘60s and ‘70s, these shutters give your Challenger a distinct look, added sun protection, and even a slight boost in privacy.
Rear window shutters, or louvers, are panels installed over the rear windshield, typically made of plastic, aluminum, or ABS, featuring horizontal or angled slats. They're designed to:
Block direct sunlight
Add privacy
Give your Challenger that classic muscle car aesthetic
They don’t block your rear view — they’re angled to maintain visibility while enhancing style.
Nothing screams "retro muscle" like a set of black rear window louvers. It's the perfect throwback look.
Louvers reduce the amount of direct sunlight hitting your rear window, protecting your interior and reducing cabin temperature.
The angled slats make it harder to see into your rear seat area, which is great for storing valuables or just feeling more secure.
Most louvers are non-invasive — they mount with 3M tape or brackets and can be removed without drilling.
