Classic Industries Window Louver

Hey everyone I know there are thousands of posts on here about louvers and I really don't mean to start a new thread... Ive seen tons of aftermarket producers of them but have yet to really see any that I like except for the factory sets... However I have seen a lot of people saying that classic industries makes a good three piece aluminum set however when I look on their site all you get is the little thumbnail picture of a small section of the louver. I was just hoping someone on here would see this who has a set of these louvers or has better luck at finding a picture of these as before spending $500 I would like to make sure their are what I want! Thank you for any help.

Hello 88rsRestoration,

Thank you for the comment. Because of your post, we are going to be re-photographing these louver sets and we will post a better picture on our website very soon. We apologize for the inconvenience, but appreciate the feedback. In the meantime, here is an image of the W10610 which is representative of what these 4 piece aluminum louver sets look like.



W10518 1982-92 4 piece w/o 3rd brake light on glass ...........
W10519 1982-92 4 piece w/o 3rd brake light-w/rear wiper ...
W10610 1986-92 4 piece w/3rd brake light on rear glass.......

Wow...those are nearly identical to the old Chastain "Shadow" louvers I have hanging in my garage. Mine are 3 piece (center does not separate). The only thing I personally don't like about them is that the center panel isn't curved at all.

But they sold a lot of them back in the day!

Re: Classic Industries Window Louver

Classic, I take it you guys "cut" the center in half to cut down on the shipping cost?

It would probably help if you had an installed picture up on the site as well, possibly a shot from a back corner of a car. It doesn't even need to be a whole side profile, just the back corner.

Are there any plans, down the road, to get the Deluxe "GTA style" Firebird door panels reproduced by OER, as I emailed you years ago about?
