I hope you don't want some similar to those. They look horrible and don't fit the window very well.

I dont see why anyone would want louvers on their car, but whatever floats your boat. Might be able to grab some out of a junkyard

the original cragars are a 3 piece design. which is exactly what scottmoyer and myself have. and the end pieces are plastic. so i don't really know what your looking for.

i think he does not want the ones with the 3 different sections seperated by a verical line. those are gross. i like the factory ones, but i would just have to get rid of that stupid 3rd brake light i have (i got an 86), but i already got the parts needed to fill in the holes.

My set is a factory set, not the Cragars. The Cragars were close to the factory louvers, but sat taller and were still different. There are no factory sets left, unless you happen to find some owned by a parts department employee. That's how I found two sets at one time.
