The Louvers Are Dead!

What's up? I know it ain't no big deal but it still kinda sucks. I was going down the road and my louvers, which I had just painted and got them all shiny, flew right off and broke into a bunch of pieces. I might be able to put them back together, but I didn't even pay for them so I don't think I'm gonna mess with it. I'm gonna miss them.

That sucks! I know how it feels. When my dad was taking my car for a spin one of the hood louvers flew off. He said it was still intact when it landed but then a van ran it over and smashed it into a million pieces.

I've been there, too. One of mine was ripped off in a car wash. I found it, but it wasn't salvageable. It broke in about 5 or 6 places. The car wash also busted off my antenna. Needless to say, I was pissed.

I have been searching DESPERATELY for two of the rear window louver panels forever. If you have one or two to spare that would be amazing! It's the last thing besides sequential taillights then my car is complete.
