Looking for someone selling louvers!!!

I recently bought some louvers for my '92 camaro and when I got them I was super pissed to find out they were made of plastic! I'm looking for someone to make me an offer on some real, metal louvers. Please let me know if you have some you are willing to sell and send me some pics!!

Re: Looking for someone selling louvers!!!

Are you talking about hood louvers? I believe those are all made out of plastic.

Re: Looking for someone selling louvers!!!

by louvers you mean the fins on the hood right? i think even the rear hatch louvers(that block the sun) are made of plastic too. my uncle has them on his car.

Yeah, none of the louvers on the car were ever made of metal. They look fine, even though they are plastic. Plastic is better cuz they won't rust.

I redid mine. See below.

Usually the sides are plastic & the middle is aluminum.

Re: Looking for someone selling louvers!!!

The original GM louvers are ABS on the sides and then aluminum for the slats. They lock together to give them the 1 piece look. If the slats are plastic, you got aftermarket.

You can the side ABS here:


The 91/92 center section:


Complete setup (low profile)
