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.

Question

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.

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...?
