There's some pictures of them floating around on the forums somewhere.

Re: headlight louvers
Yes, a company named Traco Vortex made them. There's a member or two on here that have them. They are VERY rare. Here's some pics of another members car.

Re: headlight louvers
Wow - that is quite a car. I am not sure what to say about it - totally out of the 80's and cannot say I love it nor hate it - UNIQUE for sure!

Re: headlight louvers
I have a top of the line NOS 80's aftermarket set complete in the box that I might be willing to sell but I paid a Fair bit for them.

That is literally the worst webpage ever. Whoever wrote that probably failed elementary English.

Worst site design I have ever seen.. I wouldn't order from a site so poorly organized and coded. Also, I couldn't find ANY pictures of 90% of their "products".. Strange.

Re: headlight louvers
If anyone orders them, let me know if they respond and/or legit. Now I'm curious what a Camaro would look like with headlight louvers, iroc hood, and rear louvers! Imagining in my head a pretty sweet black out one
