But you better hurry before the online ricer accessory shops start under cutting the market.

I can see the catalog ad now: "Improve your 1997-2004 Corvette's Rear View with Billet
Aluminum Window Louvers. Give your C5 a dramatic, new effect with our precision fit rear window louver."
Of course, the catalogs would also have to offer an upgraded louver made of T-304 stainless steel for those C5 owners worried about rust or discoloring. This upgrade would
ensure years of lasting great looks and lots of thumbs up from other owners.

No doubt you are correct, but I would like to hope that there are so few of them that it just wouldn't be cost effective to make the louvers.

Reminds me of back in the day when I made a living repossessing cars. Those louvers sure could fly when you're towing them backwards at very high speeds. Can't tell you how many complaints I got because of missing louvers.

Early muscle cars, yes.
They looked good on Mustangs, Cudas, Challengers, Road runners, GTX, and so on during the late 60's and early 70's. I've got a 71 RR with 15,000 miles that you could have ordered new with one. Only repops now. But on the Vette
