Hood vents

I posted a question a few weeks ago about hood vents, and between that and searches online I've come up with zilch. This weekend I rented "The Fast and the Furious", and the blue Maxima had exactly the kind of vents I was talking about. Any ideas where/who/what?

Those vents came from the Dodge Viper. I guess you can get them from your local Dodge dealership. Cut two holes and pop those suckers in. I guess some paint might help.

I used the vents off an old Z car and it came out great. You can feel the heat pour out! It's hard to do a real professional job without repainting the hood. I tried it without painting and it didn't have the desired look so I had the hood painted and had them fill in and sand the borders of the vents and now it looks OEM.

Those used to be easy to find. The 240z had more aftermarket parts at one time than any other car except the Beetle. I've done a search and didn't come up with any recently. Thanx!
