Maybe find someone who makes/sells the aftermarket stainless units, but you won't find the OE units for sale anywhere.
If ya do, keep it to your self, or you'll be fightin' a hundred other Firehawk owners biddding for'em, ...

You could still paint'em or powdercoat'em black tho.

The vent panels in the top of the hood are not to be found anywhere.
The aftermarket stainless & mirror acrylic guys won't make'em because of the curves required to fit.

When I first got my car mine were chipped up so I ordered an extra set from SLP back when they still $old them, then I took the old ones and had them re powder coated, now I have a spare set.

Not sure I follow what your saying, these grills are flat when you lay them down, the replacements I got when SLP was selling them were cut on a water jet, I could see the tabs, should not be an issue for someone to make these. I'll ask Roger @ Emblem Pros.

Tuning in... I could not justify the cash for spares from $LP when they were selling them.

I'd like a spare set. If you can arrange to produce these at a reasonable price (SLP's price, like everything else they sell, is ridiculously expensive), I'm interested in a set.

I spoke with Roger about these but we both though ya'll meant nostril grills and not the top hood heat extractor grills, I imagine Roger will chime in, seems the above post was correct, due to the curved shape of those hood heat extractor grills I imagine thats why no one makes these...?

If you guys are looking for the Heat Extractors, Slp Still has them for sale, If your talking about the Ram Air Hood grills, I have no Idea except for tha Stainless one that Roger sells.

Oh really? I didn't know you still could ge 'em, cool. I painted my stockers black since they seemed to look so sun weathered. Looks pretty slick and fluid now imo.
