I need help finding Rear Window Louvers...

I have an 82 Z28 Camaro that I want to put some Rear Window Louvers on. Seems like people either love 'em or hate 'em. I personally love 'em.

I've done a little bit of searching around on google, and so far I have come up with these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-WL1101/. Does anyone know of a place to get them cheaper? With shipping that set of Lovers is going to be almost $350! That seems really pricey for cheap-o plastic louvers. Anyone know were I can get get these cheaper, or were I can find aluminum or more-durable-then-plastic louvers?

Does anyone out there have some used louvers that they want to sell?

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get in my Louver quest!
Thanks!

Re: I need help finding Rear Window Louvers...

I tried eBay, everything there was even more expensive. I'll try Craiglist and your other suggestions tho.

Anyone else have any input?

I've got 2 different ads running on craigslist, but so far no bites. Anyone else know of a good place to pick up some Rear Window Louvers?
