TRE Vented side glass?

I am getting new window seals and with that I thought maybe a set of these would be a nice addition....

But I thought it would be nice to hear from those who have them and how they like them and such...

My car has no air, it is not stock and has a bit of a track rat outlaw look already....

If you are talking about their 911R-style quarter windows, no, not on a street car. There are lots of better ways to spend your money on that car.

If you are hot, why not save your money to add air. Those will not help.

If you wanted to backdate to the opening front vents and opening (swing out) quarter windows...those are pretty cool.classic and they will not make you looks so much like a poser.

Everyone has different tastes Geronimo. If you like them go for it but don't do it for air. The vented windows will of course leak if it rains so you'd need to get the louvered windows with a tray. If going on a street car for me it's a look. I quite like it, others don't. If air is honestly your main reason then have you considered the front quarter swing outs like Fintstone suggested or even the plexiglass pop-outs? They fit the outlaw look really well and are probably way more effective for air than vented rears.

I freaking love front quarter pop out windows but have never heard of a back date. Does anybody know what is involved?

You would generally see it done in a backdate...like this:
73 RS Tribute
but could do win any car. You often see guys who like the chrome widows and brushed stainless targa band doing it with later middies or SCs.

Common at one time:
911 SC w/ Door vent windows & Pop out rear qtr windows

Walker runs the on his SC and they don't look out of place. I'm sure i could spend the money better elsewhere, but I am doing the seals so I thought I might do it... just not sure if I want to so I might put it lower on my list of changes.

I have yet to even do a final sketch of when I want my car to look like.
