Does anyone know anything about " USA mopar" window louvers?
I have been looking at a set of these for a cuda for something like 4 or 5 months. 

I want originals but would go with a quality piece if these fit that description.
He only wants 700 for the louvers.



I have a set of challenger louvers that I paid somewhere along the lines of 2900 for.  Was told they were cuda louvers but they are for a challenger and do not fit on my cuda.
anyone want to trade?

Man, I love the look of Louvers.  Wish I had a car that had them.  I might build a clone car someday just to add all the cool options that I've always wanted.  Then I can do a modern Hemi swap too!

That's what I'm doing. 
I can't seem to afford a cuda with all the options that I want.  So I will put them on myself. 

That's why I have a bh 71 fe5 /6 3 speed.   Not gonna hurt that.

Dale's Cuda shop offers the best quality window louvers. I put several sets on cars including my own AAR which is an original window louver car..... :alan2cents:

If it's anything like the others stuff Dale's Cuda Shop sells, then it should be high quality.  Everything I've seen from Dale's has been pretty nice.

Is Dale's product the USA mopar product?

How much are dale's louver's?

Looks like they get around $800+ shipping. Larry is great to deal with.  :perfect10:  I have bought parts from him and would not hesitate to buy the louvers. If like some of there other parts, they are made in house, but not sure about the louvers.  :cheers:

The above is for the Challenger, whoops :headbang:, Cuda is probably the same price but that gives you an idea of cost.

OK, found them, but out of stock.

I got mine from a couple at Moparfest, French Canadian.Really nice people!  He made them himself. I heard he was making them for all the big Mopar suppliers? Alan should know more/better?

I bought two sets from them as well.....Not sure, but I don't think they are doing any more. I don't remember their name either :thinking:

   My car is an original louver car. They were gone when I got the car but the post's and mounting holes in the roof were still there. I bought mine from Dales cuda shop. Very nice and well made. They were spot on when i mounted them on the car. At the time the only other option was LPI (I think) out of Canada and they were only making so many a year. Dales was great to deal with.

I probably sold 1/3 of the ones LPI made but they stopped making them . Dales are as good

I had forgotten that you sold them! Duh!  :-[

Chryco Psycho

Yeah they were perfectly made & high quality . brought in batches 6 or more at a time easy to sell for sure .
That was a lifetime ago it seems

I want to add them to my AAR as well.  Saw that Dales was out and plan on calling this week to check availability.  Will post here after I call.  Mike
