nothing like the Factory fiberglass ones & the orange RR is a local car & I am not impressed with the quality

Hello Brock,  I bought a set of these louvers last year.  Took alot of grinding on the the top flange area and the top corners to get them to fit somewhat decent.  The top line at the upper corners doesn't follow the contour of the window very well.  The sides and bottom are a good fit.  The construction and mounting aspect seems to be good and they don't rattle like my buddy's OEM set on his cuda.  I attached a pic I had on hand.  Let me know if you like better pictures.  The pics on the auction ad certainly look good,  but consider the distance of that photo.  Maybe ask him for some close up pictures of the fit and see what his response is.  I think they're O.K for the money considering the alternative choices for comparable parts.  Of course that is just my opinion.  Ron

Gene Gregory is making repro's that are identical to the originals. They're a molded part. The originals weren't aluminum. Haven't heard how much yet, but they won't be cheap. Dayclona makes a fiberglass version, but they're a little pricey as well.
I think you're going to find that these aluminum ones are reasonably priced. I may buy a set for my 74 eventually.

i have a set of them on my 72 satellite. no,they are not exact duplicates of the originals,but,they are a very well made,tig welded aluminum,option,to giving $1200-$1500 for originals. i took me about 2 hours worth of preping,and tweaking them,to fit,and look like i wanted,and then i painted them. i think they are well worth the price. i am going to buy another set of them for my 73 charger as well.

Thanks Guys I'd love to see alot more pics of your cars! They look sweet!
OK So they aren't exactly Junk, just pricey at $400 bucks...
I havn't seen an original B-bod. set in years..  thinking about it..

Don't forget Brock that $360 includes the shipping cost.  This item would have cost me near 50 bucks to ship to my area.  Also I did use his contact number to beak about the initial fit and he did return my call promptly.  Advised me to fit these with some grinding in the areas required.  I thought they would be a little more of a direct fit.  Maybe the fit is better with the RR.  The pic posted by 48chebbie looks like the louver follows the lines better at the top corners than mine. (nice car 48 wasup wit chebbie?)  I have never seen a real set of OEM louvers for a 71 Charger or if they actually exist so I'm not sure what they should look like.  Pretty rare bird to have factory louvers!!!  Should they look like a OEM style cuda louver or a RR louver? Seen OEM on RRs but thats it.

these crazy third gen guys put all kinds of crap all over their cars...  wings, whiskers, air grabbers, stripes, mirrors, even mud flaps!

We need all that crazy crap to keep the general public from drooling all over those 2nd gens and that e body stuff.   Besides who doesn't like an air grabber?
