Show us your aftermarket a/c vents/louvers

[scherp69]

When I picked up my recent supply of parts, I was hoping to have also gotten some a/c louvers. I wanted to get a set of the pro-line louvers from Vintage air. part # 49355-VUQ on this page http://vintageair.com/catalog10/2010%20VintageAir%20Catalog%20printed_%20(Page%202 8).pdf Later found out that Vintage Air can no longer get them. Then I found these ones... http://www.hotrodair.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=173/category_id=45/home_id=2/mode=prod/prd173.htm but since Hot Rod Air is no longer in business, they won't work. Billet Specialties has some http://www.billetspecialties.com/product.asp?cid=8&scid=113 but none of them really jump out at me. I like the idea of being able to close the vent like the first two. Now I'm still trying to find some louvers. I haven't ruled out using rectangular ones, but I know I want to get some that are billet. Show us which vents you're running in your cars and if you don't mind, include who makes them and where you got them.

I dig the factory Ford round ones... like late model Mustang stuff...

Thanks Kevin. I saw these ones that I really liked from the newer mustangs http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035XSVW8/ref=asc_df_B0035XSVW81242653?tag=the004-20&creative=395261&creativeASIN=B0035XSVW8&linkCode=asn

I'm just wondering if they would be easy to hook up to a Vintage Air set up. Anyone know?

I did see those. I was also looking at the Clayton Machine Works ones. Very nice, just not sure how the oval shaped ones will look in my car though. I was looking at the garage built cars thread on lateral-g and found this pic. I think these are the Billet Specialties ones. Didn't really like them on their site, but I don't mind them at all once installed. And they're half the price of the ones I was looking at.

Mike, I hear ya. I just installed a VA kit in my '66 GTO, and now I'm debating what vents to go with before I send my dash layout to the machine shop to be cut. I used factory-style chrome outer dash bezels and balls, and am not sure what to go with for the inner dash vents. I was doubting going round until seeing that pic.

VA does make some pretty nice ones (http://www.summitracing.com/search/Brand/Vintage-Air/Part-Type/Interior-Dash-Vents/?Ns=Rank|Asc), and they get expensive quick.

[scherp69]

Yeah the VA ones do get expensive. The ones I wanted were $76 each but they can't get them anymore. After seeing that picture, I've decided to go with the Billet Specialties ones like in the picture. They are about $42 each and the nice thing is they swivel around so you can point them anywhere. The other option was to get rectangular ones, but I couldn't find any that really jumped out at me.
