Owning a 78 I need to know where to you purchase the louvers? I am not a fan of the 3pc louvers. Also really dig the 3rd brake light. Looks like it was always there.

WOW! Sure looks nice! Didnt know rear bubble window could look so good! Filling in the seams around rear makes everything blend so smooth.

These Cragar louvers aren't made anymore. They sometimes show up on that big auction site or even Craigslist. Just need to keep an eye out for it.

That irritates me too. I have the longer bolts in, with a fiberglass spring. If I go longer bolts they hit the wheel when on the ground.

Seems to be pretty common with the fiberglass spring, maybe it will settle for you. Good luck.

I had them on my '86 300ZX. I felt the same then as I do now, I knew that some people didn't like them... But I sure did, so F*** Them! I kept them on.

Keep 'em!

One of our club members has the OBX sidepipes on his '80, they do sound nice. Really not that loud when we ride side by side down the highway. I do like them. Just need to save up enough coin to get some.

I found these at Corvettes at Carlisle. Not made anymore. Which is why, for what I payed for them, I bought them.

Label on the side has Cragar on it.
