Unanswered: Manta A Louver Question(s)

Thank-you..

What are the benefits gained having a louver installed on a Manta A? (as far a day/night visibility and or looks)
Are they hard/easy to find nowadays? If so, what's the price range, and is it really worth as an investment?

I liked the louvers I had:

74 Manta Luxus #3 - Opel Photo Gallery

Visibility was great and it really did help keep the sun and heat out of the car.

I haven't seen many plastic louvers that I like. They always look clunky to me.
But I'm sure there is someone that doesn't like the louvers I had.

Pricing is tough to figure. When was the last time anyone saw a set for sale?

I sure would like an aluminum set just like you had.

Opelspyder said that he would have made these if the GT ones had done better.
