jkeese01 Posted February 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2013 I've been wanting to buy a set of louvers for my 280z for a long time. Can you post pictures and where you purchased your louvers?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeese01 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Beautiful car. Ebay find. Were they new? I'll have to keep watching Ebay. Edited February 26, 2013 by jkeese01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikes Z car Posted February 26, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I watched Craigslist for a couple of years and ran across an ad for a Z parts car that had the Chastain Shadow louvre on it. The gentleman was willing to sell me just the louvre (picture attached- louvre has been painted) though they don't sell them anymore. I had this kind on my previous 240Z back in the 80s and liked them because they didn't screw on though that kind would have worked as well. I have an interpart louvre key I am willing to mail to someone that I found in the parts car. Seems odd that the louvre key in the car was for a different brand of louvre. Looks like one of the vendors that advertises on this site sells a Z car louvre. Edited February 26, 2013 by Mikes Z car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeese01 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted February 26, 2013 I've found a few vendors, but their pictures don't show the louvers very well. Travel'n Man's pics show all angles. Wish the vendors had similar pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel'n Man Posted February 26, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2013 I've had these louvers for several years at this point - I'll have to dig though some receipts to find the manufacturer.........thanks for the kind words - it's been a labor of love, or should I say money!

mgood Posted February 26, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 26, 2013 I have the other kind that you have to drill the hatch for instillation. I have had them on the car for at least 35 years. These don't hinder the rear view because they don't cover any of the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuczesk Posted February 27, 2013 Share #8 Posted February 27, 2013 Mine look like mgood's. They came with the hatch. I'll be selling the louvers when I get around to removing them. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb Posted February 27, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm am seriously on the fence about keeping mine or not.. I just can't decide. I would like first shot at buying if you decide to sell. Thanks JCBjohnbutchersr@suddenlink.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboyx Posted February 27, 2013 Share #11 Posted February 27, 2013 Mine is the type where you have to drill holes on your hatch... not sure if that makes a difference to you or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb Posted February 28, 2013 Share #12 Posted February 28, 2013 I seem to have Hi Jacked this thread from jkeese01. I would be interested in the louvers if jkeese01 does not want them. He should be first in line. Would you have some pictures and a price you could send or post? Thanks JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
