I am thinking of a way of making some rear louvers for the fastback GT's, and i know they make a set of 3 piece louvers for 3rd gen Camaros, and I need the maesurements for the insinde section. If anyone owns one or has access to one, would you measure it for me?
Also, I know they make louvers for Daytonas, if you anyone could measure those.
Thanxs for any help.

Bubbajoe, was using 3rd gen camaro louvers, if you consult the search for his build thread (like 12 pages long) near the end he shows how he installed them, and how much had to be built up. I hope that helps.

I scoped it out once before, and its not wide enough. However, a full 3 piece Camaro louver set fits a Notchback Fiero almost perfectly. I've been looking around at other cars with wider, flatter rear hatches to test fit, but I haven't found any yet. I was thinking of the 80s Mustangs, but I haven't had a chance to investigate it yet.

Daytona Louvers are very Rare, you are much more likely to find a set for a Camaro.

I honestly can't recall, but it was a substantial amount. Problem with the Camaro louvers is that the Camaro rear windown is curved, so the louvers are too. The 3 piece set actually fits the notchback Fiero almost perfectly, but doesn't work with the fastback. If you take the 2 wing pieces off and just use the center part of the Camaro louvers, its too narrow by several inches, enough that it would just look dumb.

i was looking at a daytona just this past week that had those. i almost grabbed them just in case but didn't. if they'll work, i'll go get them for somebody. not my taste but i can pull them off if they're still there. i hid some T/A vents so i have to go back anyway to get those.

the looking I am aspiring to emulate is this


so Im trying to find some louvers that can be modified to fit in the space between the butresses of the fastback clip like Kameo Kid has

but maybe some day i could do a crazy mod like what is being done the Madcurl's car
