GM dealership will have them and I doubt you'll find them at any junk yard(parts for these cars are precious like gold). However, $100+ was too much for these in my opinion so I just made my own. Went to Home Depot, bought a mesh screen that I liked(couple of bucks), spray painted it black, and put it on with black silicone. Gotta economize sometimes cuz dealership prices are insane sometimes!

I called the dealer about the rubber window edging for around the hatch glass and they told me $80+!! Buying from dealership=getting ripped off. Go all-out, Dude and get some of the stainless steel ones someone sells on here! Not sure who it is, but they look DAMN FINE!!

I just found some genuine GM ones at Ws6store... says they only fit the OEM hood and hoods made to OEM specs..so hopefully they will fit my hood, $49 isnt too bad i guess

Are there stainless or aluminum replacements available for the stock ram air hood vents?
I painted mine and it didn't last.

Ive seen those stainless ones on ebay. Can you put those on inplace of the stock vents instead of on top of them?
