Availability of hood louvres

Hi, I'm from Australia and I need a pair of hood louvres from the IROC-Z ..problem is there's only one company that sells them here and they're like 500 bucks....any of you guys have any that you would like to give away or know where you could get any?
I'm only 18 and I am still trying to learn about these cars.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hrmm unfortunately I don't have a GM dealer...GM only sell under GMH here and they sell completely different cars.
From what I understand there's tons of camaro's over there so I can't see how someone doesn't have a pair lying around

Somebody prolly has a pair laying around here no doubt, however even here they tend to command a few $$$ for a non fubar-ed set. Post on the wanted board and check teh classifieds here and ebay. You should be able to find a set w/o too much trouble.

Anytime you have a part that came on the higher end cars and not on the lower end cars, the part will be in demand for people upgrading base model cars. Add into that the nature of the factory hood louvers to crack, and accident damage, etc and you've got a relatively hard part to find. Just buy a new set, they aren't that expensive.

Also enclose your email with

By the way there are not as many Camaros around as you would think, even in America.

Do a search on Ebaymotors.com for IROC and guaranteed you'll find a set. I saw some just this AM.
