Where to find rear louvers for 87 Camaro?

I am wanting a set of the rear window louvers for my 87 IROC, where can I find a set of these? I am not wanting the 3 piece type, I am wanting the 1 piece style. I think Crager made these.
Thanks

I've got the cragar ones and i'd sell em to you for 20 bucks, if you're anywhere near springfield mo then come get them

the only problem with them is they are faded a little and the top slat is missing but i'm sure someone on here has an extra slat

Yea thats what I'm saying if you got em let us know we want em bad!!! lol I check ebay all the time but man they go for 150 and up for a set!!! I'm thinking of making my own custom side pieces and a guy locally said he'd give me the factory 1 piece set off his when he takes em off. I been trying find him ever since lol. I do know a place that has em though on the internet and has the 3 piece and 1 piece I can't remember though i found it on here a thread about them. It was for ppl who like rear window louvers or something I got an email from the guy to about the sides pieces for mine.

Here it is!!!!!http://www.sfxperformance.com/search...ling&type_id=1

I went there and had to go to vehicle specific things and then camaro exterior accessories i think or styling and finally found louvers. They got em for all kinds of cars and trucks to.

Yea jc whitney has the ones I want but I had heard from this site they stick up like an inch off the glass in front.

My aluminum center piece did as well when used w/ the factory hinges that came on the louver. I fixed that though I made my own way of removing it and holding it down. So now mine fits flush like it should.

Welll now I'm not completely certain on it, like I said I remember reading it on a post on here about someone looking for a set and ordering the ones off jcwhitney and they stuck up off the window.
My aluminum center piece did its the 3 piece kind has 2 pieces in the middle and then the 2 that tape on the windows or whatever, it stuck up off my window. I wanted the jcwhitney set as well thoose are the ones I like and I've seen a few pics but can't tell from them, they look good in pics. Mine do to though after drilling out the rivets and making my own way of mounting and removing. for access to the window. Also had alot of grinding on the 2 poles and the end bolts as well. I wished I knew exactly how them things fit or knew someone who had them. My louvers are by kobel, and like I said I've seen a few w/ the 1 piece plastic but I haven't seen them up close or talked to the owners to see how the fit and finish is. I need to search and find that thread and link everyone.

I've found a few useful threads on this topic just by searching for rear window louvers.
I've seen the plastic ones, not sure who made em but they look great!!!! and alot of ppl have said they were impressed w/ fit and finish of them, some said the aftermarkets don't fit right. here's a couple threads on em.

mine are still up for $20 if anyone wants them but i really don't feel like shipping them you just have to find one slat and maybe paint them if you really want to (although i think polish may do the trick)

EDIT: almost forgot they're the cragar one peice design and though my car is a 91 they DO NOT have a brake light cutout
