I thinking the junkyard might be a little better on the pocket, or catching someone at the right time selling them. Thanks.

I see them, but always never seem to catch them at the right time.

Those are Race Ace louvers. RRO didn't even bother to change the picture (other than to add their logo claiming it's their design). http://www.raceace.com/

You gotta be kidding me, $145+ shipping....for two pieces of sheet metal run thru a louver machine...that took maybe a minute if it was a manual operated one.
Here are some other options.

I like the butterfly type you can open and close.

What's even worse is that Race Ace itself only charges $139 for the black powder-coated ones that RRO is charging $145 for.

Unfortunately people are spending the money for louvers, like RichP mentioned it takes all of 5 minutes to produce. Where was I when that was thought up. Someone is making a killing off of those.

I'm just suprised nobody has made an opening and closing type louver with a slider that fits between two pieces, a long version of that butterfly type I posted the link to. I've seen that type on military and construction type equipment and even on large mainframe computers to increase air flow where you loosen a knurled knob, slide it open and tighten the knob to keep it there.
