Contact: (626) 888-2495 **Key is to deal w/Ruben T. only since he and I worked out the possible issues**
Product made for: 1962-1964 Chevy Impala
Price: $ 170.00 but since we “civic wagon owners” would have to modify the slats to our personal desired length price would be dropped down to $140.00+shipping. I personally ordered on a tuesday and got them on friday.
How to order: Go to site and click on contact us then fill out the blanks >> Name, E-mail, Telephone and Comment. The following is key when ordering; in the comment section add a short description stating in your own words “a member on civicwagon.com worked with Ruben T. on creating a set for his 1990 Honda Civic Wagon RT4wd and based on the members measurements Ruben T. found a set that would work which is a venetian blinds set made for a 62-64 chevy impala but modifications to the slats will be needed to fit window” Once you present this statement they http://autovenetianblinds.com/ should know how to take care of your purchase. Or you could just call direct and ask specifically for Ruben T. and state your reason for calling which would speed up your purchase. Ruben T. and I had set up a paypal transaction for documented and quick payment purposes. Don’t know how he’s going to handle the orders from now on since I’m guessing there would be a lot of interest in this product and don’t know if he would raise the price if he considers the laws of economics supply and demand into account. Like I said in the forum fest thread http://autovenetianblinds.com/ is currently out of this product as of 6/18/2012 and a new batch is being made to restock their inventory. I personally got Ruben T. approval prior to posting this thread.
Product Info: No mounting screws needed bracket tabs mount behind upper rear brake light panel and lower hatch panel for a perfect fit. The 2 brackets that hold the metal slats is a perfect fit vertically but the only modification you would have to do is cut the metal slats with sheet metal snips to desired length. Rubber cement will be provided with product and need to be applied which will prevent the vibrations or you can find some shims so you don’t have to apply rubber cement.
Install:
1) pop 1 tab on each side of the rear upper brake light panel.
2) align where you want to mount the bracket on the bottom and hold in place.
3) align the bracket w/tab side under the brake light panel up top.
4) once you got the bracket lined to your desired position top and bottom then snap the panel tab back into the place. The bracket tab is what will keep the bracket in place.
5) Cut slats to desired length.
6) Install slats and apply rubber cement or shims to prevent constant slat vibration.
7) POW.......enjoy all the thumbs up you'll get where ever you go!
It’s super easy when you visually/logically think about it, you guys will see!......

are the Daisy blinds powered??
Hello Jason,
Okay I am going down the list of customers in order.
Are you still looking for Daisy Blinds?
I got 5 in stock but I couldn't pick them up at the same cheap cost hence the higher price tag.
They are becoming very hard to get now.
Shipped cost to USA = ¥20,450
Best, Robert

The foam blinds were just a bit too thick for the slats which was perfect as I simply forced them in and which created grooves and held the blinds in place.
Here's they are finished
Even though the new foamcore blinds are super light and don't make any noise at all, I don't think I'll stay with them as it's just not as tidy as I'd like it to look and it's also not strong enough to be durable. It's hard to cut and get perfectly smooth edges. One of my blinds has already folded on the end and is now just kinda hanging/flopping. I think I will try and redo them out of a thin sheet of wood that I found at an RC car hobby store. I think it'll last longer, and when I get a Nardi wood grain wheel and shift knob I might just build a new set of wooden blinds all lacquered up to match. For now I'll probably just paint them white. The sheet of wood is thicker than the metal blinds, but that's good because I'll just use a router to make grooves in the wooden blinds so they will slide and lock right into the slats. My brother is a finish carpenter so I'll have him try and help me knock it out.
Did you look into Balsa wood yet. You may be able to get it in a similar size to those strips. Probably just as lite as the foam, but stronger.
