Camaro louver or not?
I was sold a louver but it was incomplete (no sides). I was told it was the complete thing with the proper hardware but honestly I'm unsure.
Can anyone help me find out if this is a camaro louver and hardware? I'm going to sell it and want to male sure I'm not selling the wrong product. The links below should bring you to my photobucket to checkout some pictures. Thanks so much

Re: Camaro louver or not?
Thanks for the reply, I've been to the bay a few times but there isn't muchthere (nothing in Theresa either).
I looked the center piece up and down but there are no marks number or anything on it since it must have been on the sides.
The box says it came from Shaders Inc in sun valley CA. Their number doesn't exist anymore nor does the store. The hardware bag has a number on it which is 2053 and that's all I've got to work with.. :/

Re: Camaro louver or not?
I'll check it out. Ya I cannot find any indicators of what brand but someone told me it was for an rx7 which I found ridiculous. But thanks for your input.

Re: Camaro louver or not?
I've got the complete set of those! I also checked out your ebay ad too. I'm really interested in it since my middle section has a couple of bent louvers - but not bad. I also need a couple of the brackets - you mentioned the brackets come with it?
I'm interested in buying it, but 140 for shipping and 50 minimum for the louver, I just can't afford that....PM me if you might be able to come down in price a bit.
EDIT: They ARE Camaro louvers....A company called "Chastain" made them and they're called "Shadow!"

Re: Camaro louver or not?
The shipping depends on where you live which makes it vary. I'm shipping at the lowest way possible. It's huge as you know and it comes with the complete mounting kit never used. I can't go any lower because I'd be paying to give it away and I honestly am not even breaking even at the price I have set.
I believe that the mounting hardware is so rare that it alone is worth the price (not the insane shipping cost). I can checkup the shipping price if you pm your location.

Yeah, I know it's gonna be a big box and it'll need to be packaged pretty carefully or the louvers will bow/bend pretty easily. I'm kinda wondering now if it's the same one I have....I only knew who made it because there's a white decal on the bottom louver on mine....so either yours got repainted or didn't come with a decal?
Do you have any closer-up pics of the side edges, top and bottom to see how it mates up and mounts?? I'd hate to buy it just to find out I can't use it. Thanks in advance if it's possible.
EDIT: I looked at all the pics you posted, but I can't seem to zoom in on them, or I don't know how....those clips look different than mine from what I can see though.

I wish it were the same - that center section you have looks about flawless. Good luck selling it, it's worth it to someone that has that brand of louvers. And I thought mine were rare!!

I just sat my louvers on the glass, but I attached a couple of pics of what mine are. I'm going to just put them on - My center section isn't perfect, but it's not in too bad a shape, and I don't think I'll find every bracket I need in the near future....I have enough of the brackets to hold them on plenty good enough thankfully.

Re: Camaro louver or not?
Bizzare I spent some time to look at astra hammonds version and it doesn't have the metal "buttons" on it. Also the ribs for center support show from the picture of astra hammond which looks kinda cheap where the one I have you can't see from looking down at it.
Can anyone identify this? Thanks !!
