:cry: :cry:

was watching my friends play basketball outside and was thinknig i should move my cars when the basketball hit my louvers and they smashed into 4 peices on the passenger side.
does anyone know if they can be fixed with epoxy, or if i can get another set? do they still make them? it took me a year to find this set. ive only had them on the car for a month! i paid 260$ canadain for them.

 

Sorry to hear about that bob. Check Ebay, youll probably find some used or new depends on your pockets, lol.

 

i got these off ebay, took me a year. i dont want to have to do that again

 

Are you refering to the louvers on the rear window, or the set on the hood?

Jason

 

Check with thirdgenresource.com or Hawks. They will gladly help you out.

 

rear window louvers

 

I thought you wer talking about the hood louvers , the rear are gonna be hard to find I think? Good luck bro.

 

take em off.. they look ugly anyways!

just kidding:lala:

Look around the boards, you should be able to find someone that will give one away because most people think that they are ugly..... like me

 

i have two places for you to check first is a used parts dealer in edmonton his website is http://www.davidt.com also i beleive that driver fx sells them there website is http://www.driverfx.ca hope it helps

 

i emailed davidt.com a year ago when i started looking for this set... but ill try em again.
didnt know about the fx site. contacting them hope for the best.
tomorrow im going to try epoxying all the peices back together, and maybe having my body shop guy look at it.

anyone else know where these come from? cragar doesnt make them anymore

 

thirdgenresource will NOT gladly help you out. Their customer service and frankly business as a whole is terrible.

Hawks on the VERY other hand, is great to deal with. I'd ask them.

 

I found depending on the item.. odering from the US was cheaper than DavidT any day. even with the shipping & taxes.

 

yeah but if you live close shipping is cheap plus if you are a member you get 30 % off

 

30% off? member of what???
tell me please
im a student and i need new louvers

 

I have to agree with you there. My girlfriend ordered up some door seals from them. They were rude when she was ordering them, they took a month and a half to get to her, they were rude to her when she was trying to find out why it was taking so long, and to top it off, they were the wrong ones when she got them.

I'm not in the habit of bashing buisnesses, especially sponsors. But all I have heard about that place is bad news. TGO should try and do something to get them removed from sponsor status...

 

are you looking for a one piece set-up or a three piece? my brother has a 3 piece set of of his old 83 sc all sanded down and painted flat black. he was going to use them until he got his rs now hes looking to sell them if your interested. lemme know and ill tell him

 

If I were you I would save up and buy something else instead of louvers. I personaly dont like them.

 

Use some of that 3M Plastic Emblem Glue....vise up or hold the piece(s) till dry....works like a charm! Bought my one-piece for $30...glued a few spots, sprayed a new flat black on 'em....they look better on my 88 Camaro than they did on his firebird, I'll bet.

hey i know a guy around here that has a one piece set up he took off of his 90' RS before he was tryin to sell it. he said he didn't like them so i'm sure he would just give em to me if i wanted em. i'll talk to him and see, but i know for sure he wants to get rid of it.

 

that would be great if i could get a cheap replacment
myself and the kids playing ball are all students, and its not likley they will pay me for them. one guy is hinting its as much my fault as their because i watched them do it and shuold have moved my car

 

my opinion is for one they are too hard to find these days and two window louvers shoudl have been left in the 80s with michael jackson just my two cents due to the fact you are having crazy time finding these things in good shape why not just run tint and a normal window looks ten times better

 

i will post later tomorrow guy a few block over has a set of metal ones he had in in the local paper but never sold them. I will see what if anything he wants for them if metal ones would work better for you

let me know

 

I bought new ones from thirdgenresource.com and i paid 70 dollars each.

 

scania i dont think you read the entire thread


not hood louvers

rear window louvers

 

Ooopps sorry about that.

 

heres the pic of my bros louvers hes selling... u can see there is one problem with the 3rd line up it kinda hangs, because its missing one of the back supports there. but you can easily fab one up if it bothers you. on the car you'll barely notice unless your close up and looking for it. sorry about the size and how dirty they are (theyve been collecting dust in the back of his camaro) you can contact him here chrisnali4life@wmconnect.com

 

are those plastic or aluminum?

and how do they attach to the window?

 

the large center one is metal (probably aluminum or something stronger) and the sides are a plastic but pretty durable. up in the center of the pic (on the top step) are the hinges (so u can wash the window w/o taking them off) with the bolts and all. there are 2 other parts (2 straps that hold the top and bottom of the large center to the glass) but i left those in the car by accident.

 

i have a set on my car that i am willing to sell, all they need is a good coat of paint, they dont have rust, just faded. its the same set as the ones shown above, but the entire thing is aluminum, it attaches to the rear window with tabs that clamp onto the window frame. very easy to install, nothing wrong with them at all, i just want my windows tinted instead, PM me if you are interested, and make me an offer

 

Just noticed that thirdgenresource has been removed as a sponsor Someone has been listening finally

 

Whoa lol, didn't even notice

 

You got that right! https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=239443

 

just to update the situation, they say they are getting me over 100$ canadain for replacements, and i did work on the louvers for a few hours getting them as fixed as i could. i epoxied the peices back in, clamped and held them for it to set, then laid fiberglass sheets under the fins with broken and cracked peices, then sanded the whole louver peices and metal fins with 400 grit and painted with auto trim specific paint. it covered flat black with a powder like paint. looks pretty good, but it still cost me 60$ to fix.

im waiting on the cash for anything further on buying another set.

 

Well if anything, im pretty sure house of camaro will carry them.

 

Take it as a blessing. I hate those things. I think they are hideous on anything. Oh well.

 

Personally, i've got rear louvers on my 91 RS, and i think they look great. The car already has a mean look to it, and i think it just embellishes that further.

 

Yeah, I can back that up. I ordered a serpentine belt conversion kit from them, submitted my cc info and all. I got a confirmation email from them, and nothing more EVER. At least they didn't charge my CC for the parts... luckily.

(to be on the safe side, I also reported that card stolen, which I tend to do from time to time to secure my CC info.....never want the same cc info to be floating around internet databases for too long)

 

I think anything except a 70-71 Chrysler E-body or 69-70 Mach 1.

 

heres a site with them
