Does anyone know where to buy this. I have seen them on many cars but can not find it at any of the typical vendors.
TY.

Factory five has the assembled ones in stock.

********** carries them as well. Unless you are specifically looking for the flat aluminum ones like in your picture. I have a set of those that I am not using if you want to PM me your address and I can send them free of charge.

That is not aftermarket. It’s the standard FFR “bend it yourself” louver. Put a “Want to buy” as in the forum classifieds; there are hundreds of them gathering dust in the garages of builders who did use aftermarket.

Just something to be aware of regarding the assembled louvers from FFR and ********** (they are identical) is that the body cut outs from Factory Five do not match them in size or angle. Not much of an issue to rework them prior to body & paint but a different story afterwards.

Jeff,
I guess I wasn't clear, I want the aftermarket ones. The one that comes with the kit are not nearly as solid or nice as ones I have seen on my friends Cobra. '
I did get some responses that pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks Jim

If you make a little Sheetmetal Brake & hold it in a Vice, then these louvers can really come out nice.
Shown below is how I bent mine:

You can see how they looked around 1:10-1:20 into the attached video:
