What are these?

I have to put up pictures but, I found these covers in the junkyard. They are side covers for the hatch thirdgens.... they kind of give it the look of a fastback. Again I have to get pictures in the next couple of days and I know my description is vauge but I wanna see if anyone knows what they are. I am interested in selling them. I found them on a GTA with no motor in the yard so I took them. I have never seen them before so I figured they were a rare aftermarket part.

Re: What are these?

Sounds like you have the side panels from a three piece louver set , I think that Chastain made metal side panels with three "windows" in them. The center section was a separate piece. I remember that the louver set looked strange IMHO. Dave

Re: What are these?

Are they rare? Would anyone be interested in them? They do look good without the center if they are painted the same color as the car I think anyways...
