WTB rear hatch louvers

Hey guys, I would like to buy a set of the rear hatch louvers for the GTA.
I like the look and the function and I don't wanna here what your opinion is on how they look

problem is that all I come across on the internetz is that ugly 3 piece set (no offence)

I like these ones and I've already contacted the owner of this car but they were on there when he bought them.
He did note that were probably made by Cragar so I did some more google searches and have come up with nothing.

I don't want to buy YOUR set unless you are local (southern Ontario) but what I would like to know is if there is a business on the internet that sells them.

Much thanks,
JM

The set of louvers on the above car are factory. The Cragar set sits higher than these so that cars with the rear wiper can use the same set. Good luck finding these in good condition. If you do, they will cost.

This. OEM louvers are hard to find, and if you do the hardware usually isn't there and there beat up. Got lucky on my set.

Re: WTB rear hatch louvers

alright guys, thanks for the quick replies!

so I guess the idea is a bust eh?
it sounds hard to find an OEM set. they're the best looking louvers I've seen for these cars, I'm surprised no one still makes them but I guess the demand just isn't there, too bad.

the Cragars sit too high at the bottom end for my liking but they're a good effort

Re: WTB rear hatch louvers

my cragars look like the bubble off the actually dontthev curve before the top so the highest point in the louvers is with the roof.
