Default Does anyone know if this is Made?

I am looking for a set without the Louvers (rings only) for the rear taillights. This is what I found over at Corvette Central but they only have ones with the louvers.

http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....5CAALS~Z5Z5Z51

If anyone knows of a place that has these please give me a website or link.

Thanks... Sixty4.

Searched long and hard for these. I actually saw a car at Carlisle with them. Could not find the owner to ask if they were custom or not.

We could make them, but we are not sure about how popular these would be. Each time we make them, the factory demands a minimum quantity of 50...

Default Chrome Paint

I have been looking for different louver types myself in chrome, not finding what I like, I have been thinking about chrome painting some plastic ones I can easly mod to my taste.

Anyone ever use this ALSA chrome paint product? http://www.alsacorp.com/Merchant2/me...re_Code=Alsa_B
