C3 Louvres??
Does anybody know if they still make back window louvres for C3's, particularly for an 81? I looked around the net, but couldn't find any. I know a lot of people would scoff at the idea of them, but I think they got that "old school" look that would look pretty cool. Especially if they were painted to match your car. Anybody got any other pics out there? Thanks.
Here's 1 pic I found on an 80.

I have one on my 79. I love it. Alot of people dont like them but I think it adds a "fin" or "gills" look to the shark. Here is a pic of mine and the link to a place where you can get them.

I think he said he bought them here: http://www.spoilers4less.com/wp1015.html
I like them but can't decide whether I want them for my '81.

I took a set of J C Whitney ones off my '80 years ago, and brought them to my swap space at Bloomington Gold for 3 years in a row.
After I couldn't give them away, I left them in a garbage can on the Fairgrounds. They might still be there.

I have a set in my garage and I've had them since the day I bought the car and they have always been in the garage. I can't throw them out, don't want to sell them, sometimes I actually like them and the way they look.

... and later in 1984 after the crazy custom paint job. Seemed like a good idea at the time! Later I switched to Vectors back to aluminum, changed the interior to black and threw away the louvres... calmed the whole look down a bit!
