I believe Jr. Nelson, the pinstriper, does louvers as well, he's in Tacoma and in the phone book. A few others as well in Tacoma, just can't remember their names off hand.
I assume the "big dollar" shops in the area offer this service but at crazy prices. I remember a guy in Vancouver B.C. who has a louver business under his first name followed by louvers. I just searched for his name and website address in my book-marked favorites but came up empty-handed. I'll keep searching and let you know. His costs (6-7 years ago) were $1 per louver but he was limited to very few sizes. Still, great prices and good work from what I had seen. - EM

Am interested in having you do some louvers for me, if you're willing. I know Comet from jeeping, and my jeep was louvered by Torg quite a few years ago, and was just recently rolled, destroying my hood. Since Torg's passing last year, I no longer have a resource to louver my replacement hood. If you would forward contact info to me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'll also try and send you a PM with this info, in case you don't re-read this thread. Thanks in advance. Tony Fox
hey tony are you any relation to jim fox the tree guy... oldbeet and son k-member do kick ass louvers they did my hood on my jimmy ...jeffrey
No, not related to any Jims (at least that I know of) My nickname came from poor driving skills a long time ago. My right foot was too heavy, and I drove up a tree.
