Are you looking for something like the Halltech Ram Air Tunnel Port? I know Lg Motorsports sells them. There may be some other sponsors that carry them too.
You could also make your own if you wanted to cut up your front license plate cover or but a damaged one as a spare for cheap and modify it.

I'm feeling poor with my recent mods! Slush fund is empty and I still need the clutch. 
A picture won't really tell me the mesh size so I guess I'll just have to order the other screens ahead of time and measure them up when they come in.

so I just pull it off for the track. Be careful though because of the wiring behind it. You'll need to unhook a clip to lower the wire out of the way before cutting it all. I started by cutting a small hole in the middle with the bit set really shallow. That's when I saw the wire and was glad that I kept it shallow. Then you can just cut it open as much as you want with the wire out of the way. Good luck!

They are actually every easy to make. I bought some of the screen material from MasterCraft. With about 3 hours of work with a dremel tool, I cut out a section of the front plate, glued the material to the back remaining portion, and then opened up the section of the front facsia. I think I have about $20 in material and three hours of labor.

Here's the Ultra low budget version $12
This was a test plate I am going to change it up a bit, likely go to a Bowtie cutout since behind the pate the opening is more or less shaped like that on top. Then match the Screen.
Here's what your looking at behind the plate
I have since dremeled it to a more appealing look.

Should look pretty good. I am going to cut one shaped like a bowtie when I get home end of April, and put COLD BEER CUTOUT on the next one LOL.
If someone provides me with the screen, I will provide them with a plate
