Yes you can, but beware - they're not as pictured in the catalog. I sent mine back because I wanted the exact same thing they showed in the catalog - the ones that match what I already have. You might like them, though.

Come to think of it, I did take a photo before I sent them back! I took this while my wife held them in place so we could see what they would look like installed.

Like I said, you might like them. It was just that I wanted exact replacements for the ones I already had (see sig).

No, that's my wife's hand. You replied while I was still editing. And, as you can tell by the jewelry - I treat her almost as good as I treat my RX

Dunno, guy - I've been lookin for a long time. My right one got ran over by a truck. Thankfully it wasn't attached to my rex at the time! (blew off on the road once) I performed "plastic surgery" (lol) and put it all back together. Looks fine, but I've always wanted to replace it after that.
Thought VB was the ticket. Too bad. I called them and they said sometimes, when venders changed, their merch wasn't always "as shown".
If I ever find a source, I'll post it. I know many members don't like any of the louvers - but, then, there's so very few of us left with any class, ya know?
