    Roadster side louvers

    Anyone have a line on assembled side louvers? FF out of stock, Finish Line website says they are in stock but there is no select button to order.

    Pretty sure FF has them. You need to call them.

    Got mine from Vraptorspeedworks. IMO they are the nicest available.

    Taylor at F***** L*** has been out with pneumonia, but says he will be back in next week. He runs a one man shop so understand he's been behind. If I lived in Oakley, I'd go help him.

    Also FF says they are getting some side louver stock next week as well.

    I got mine from Whitby Motorcars a long time ago and they appear to still have them.

    Best,

    Any chance you've got a photo of those mounted on a roadster, Mike?

    You can make the standard Factory-5 louvers look rather nice with a little work.
    Shown below is how mine turned out and 3 years later they still look great.

    While the prefabbed louvers look good, if you take a little time the base louvers can work and work well.
    Also, my 383 Emblems hold them on since they are a pin through & nut design.

    Good Luck!

    I called FF directly a few weeks ago and they said "we don't know when we'll get them back in". Sounds like the supplier is having issues.

    Got these assembled louvers from Whitby Motor Cars and had them paint then when they painted the car.

    I’ve been wondering about this. The assembled louvers are the only item still outstanding on my POL sheet. I hope they get them in the next few months…
