You have the louvers, then they are OE or Dale's. If they were G. Gregorys HE would have your money and you would have nothing.

If real they will look like this, complete with flashing, casting number and vendor code...wont see all that on repros. 7595387-louverhinge2.jpg (109 downloads)

I agree with you though, after seeing them in person. They are very nice, even have a hinge underside similar to the pictured one above...but no casting numbers.

That company was LPI, supposedly out of business but another company has purchased their equipment and are expected to continue production. Here's a link: http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f19/lpi-louvers-questions-recent-purchasers-82323/ Somewhat off topic but I have a set of the LPI louvers on a 2009 Challenger and am extremely impressed with the quality.
