I'm looking at replacing the side louvers on my 72, and I can't seem to locate a company that sells them new. The chrome is pretty pitted on mine, and they've been painted a few times, so they aren't in the best of shape. I see used sets on Ebay, but none new. Do they make them any longer?

I recently had my '71 restored by County Corvette in West Chester. I have the same problem with my side louvers - I think I remember them telling me that they are not available and that painting/re-finishing was the only option. They are bubbled from the rust underneath - even though they were celaned and done with the rest of the car. Let me know if you find a resource for these - I would love to get new ones for mine!
