I have heard that the aftermarket ones (don't know how many varieties there are) look different and fit far worse than stock.

IF, and I say IF you are going to install louvers, pleaseeeeeeeeeee use the OEM louvers. They can be obtained from a JY or by placing a parts wanted ad. The new ones are hideous and you will be the laughing stock in your community, and ours!

OEM's are the only way to go all the aftermarket ones look stupid, good luck finding a set though

OEM would be cool in my book I didn't know how hard it would be to find a set though 
I have an old Kaiser Jeep and some other toys and I guess I just got used to not being able to find parts when I needed them. thanks agian guys/gals
