I would like to put the chrome louver inserts on, however OEM seem to be made of unobtainium in a full set. However there are the after market ones. How do the aftermarket compare for look and quality?

Have never compared them, they are silver painted not chrome. Purchased from a major Corvette vendor many years ago and they are holding up well.

Try giving this shop a call. They may have a used OEM pair in their inventory.
