Default Please help get corvette rear window louvers

I have a 1981 corvette and was hopping someone could help me find a pair of these for sale. I would rather have them in aluminum but if they only come in plastic that's fine.
I saw a few pictures of different louvers for the 1978-1982 corvette but liked these the best:
Thanks

A decent set of Cragar's show up on feeBay occasionally, but be prepared to fork over some $$$ as they usually end up the spoil of a bidding war.

I know a guy who has an 82 that came with louvers. He removed them and would probably sell them if your interested. They are painted the same color as his car silver/blue.

I hear you. I tried several inserts and louvers when I had my 78.
In the end most people end up getting rid of them.
