WTB: Crager louver parts/HELP
I recently bought a NOS Crager louver off craigslist. Which was a great find, but I kinda got screwed in the process. The louver is brand new, had never been on a car, hell it had never even been assembled. But when I put the louver together I noticed that one full side was a completely different color. By looking at the molding numbers on the plastics, I put two and two together, and realized that this louver was probably used as replacement parts back in the day. Someone probably messed up their set and needed parts.(also the mounting hardware was gone too.)
Now I have a OEM louver from GM that has seen better days. The metal slabs in the middle are a little bent, and as you can see by the pictures, the louver is sun beaten hard. Now if i cannot find any mounting hardwhere, and matching color side, I am going to splice the two together. (GM sides with CRaG slabs)
My question is: Is there anyone out there looking to sell a correct color side plastic, and/or some mounting hardwhere? Is there someone out there who can make the parts for me? i have many pictures of the hardwhere.
(NOS crager louver is on bed. GM is on floor)

I was able to get about 40% of it back. The set on the floor is not the one I bought. The one on the bed is.
