I haven't heard anything back- thinking about sending another e-mail to ask. I don't know if it was voted on or whatever yet...
Well, I got a response and you guys aren't going to like it. Here it is...... Good afternoon. Gosh you Maverick guys sure are a crazy bunch. Originally I received a e-mail from a guy wanting louvers for his Maverick. I told him that we don't make one. I told him that we are presently concentrating on newer vehicles such as the Mustang, Charger etc. To be a progressive company we have to keep up with the manufacturing of new products. To make a louver we need the vehicle for several months to create a mold, then to try the louver on it,test the item in different types of weather etc. As an example for the 2005 Mustang it took us almost a year before the louver was put on the market. Due to the time consuming job of making a mold and manufacturing an item at great cost the sales have to have the potential to be in the thousands. Using the Mustang as an example again although they fit Mustangs from 2005 to 2008 we are still having huge sales on this item. The first guy who requested a Maverick louver to be made was told that the likely hood of us manufacturing one is nil. Unfortunately I told him never say never because we never know what tomorrow will bring. I can guarantee you that in our life time this item will not be produced by our company. Sorry to disappoint everyone but please pass this information on. Have a good day. Thanks Mary Jane
I received that exact reply to the Email I sent recently concerning these wonderful louvers. I was at once disappointed and disgruntled.
Yeah, hate to say it, but I didn't see this happening either. Someone like Joe would be a more likely candidate for a project such as these louvers.
Actualy I was thinking that now there looking kinda...how can I put it?... Ray, but with a g. J/K... The news is disapointing, altho, the stuff I have seen out there isn't impressive at all. I wouldn't buy any for my Stang/Camaro if I had one anyway.
Yeah, I know. But seriously, louvers are not for everyone. I've heard quite a few people say they would never put them on their Maverick. (I guess it's possible they say this just because they know they will probably never get a set) When I got my first set it took quite a bit of consideration before I decided to put them on. After I did I was glad. I've gotten way more positive comments than negative. Or maybe some people just think they'll hurt my feelings if they tell me they don't like em. That ain't gonna happen though because I didn't build the car for anyone but myself. If I take the louvers off my blue car now it looks naked. I guess that car will always have them. I doubt very seriously though that my other set will go on my Sprint! I think that would look horrible. I do have another 71 Grabber to build though that may very well get them. Only time will tell.
That's what got me about the whole thing. It's like they are FORBIDDEN to be manufactured of something.
Hey, Ray can you show us any pics of the other one not installed on a car? I'd like to see how "Complicated" they look and if making a mold off of them would be possible. With the right materials copying yours might not be too hard.
I'll do better than that if I can find them. I have blueprints. I'll try to find them and repost them. I have them on a file from a few years ago and have changed computers since and have also moved. I've got the disc packed away in a box. I hate when I do that. Anyway, if I can't find them I'll contact the person that originally posted them to see if he'll send another copy. If you do a search on "louvers blueprints" I think you'll find where he originally posted but they are no longer there. I think it was member "RudyD" or something like that.
