Default Chrome Vent Gills....

In last months GMhightechperformance magazine there was a blue trans am that had chrome vent gills up front of the car on the side behind the front wheels (did that make since?). In the article it says that he got the part from afterthoughtsauto.com which is a sponser here. Went to there site and could not find it. Any help
