Default Hood Louvers

Anyone know a good source for some nice big fiberglass hood louvers? Been searching the web and can’t find anything except some cheap metal ones and non functional ones from Summit.

Hoerr Racing Products has some carbon ones but they are pricey, hrpworld.com. I think Pegausus has them too.

The ones from Hoerr Racing Products is exactly what I was looking for, but would rather not spend the extra $ for carbon fiber. X 3 that I need is $400.
Pegausus didn't have any when I checked.

I was also looking at the ones from Summit. Why are they non-fuctional? I thought louvers are louvers.

Rich, I thought you guys were looking at the possibility of the H3 louvers?

In the notes on the product description it indicates it’s non-functional, in other words the vent holes are closed. It’s all for show and no go…

I saw those in my searches and didn't care for them much. Do you have any pics with them installed?
Thanks

There are three different louver sizes listed on Summit's web site. Part number SUM-476003 is listed as "non-functional." Parts SUM-476001 and SUM-476002 are not. It just might just be an error in the description. Have you called them?

I noticed that too, my guess was they were all non functional, the only difference between them are the sizes, but it's kinda hard to tell from the photo. I havn't called them to confirm.
