Where to get 510 side vents

[Datgramps510]

On one side of my car the plastic side vent is a crumbling mess. I’m looking to replace it with either a stock looking aftermarket piece or does anyone have any idea what else to do

3D and chrome paint.

This posting is not for the side vents, but this ebay seller makes them and has them posted sometimes.  Contact and ask him.  There is a thread somewhere here on Ratsun about them also, but I'll have to find it.

I bought a set from him and they were actually amazing quality and appearance.  If he can't help you, I do have an extra set I am possibly willing to sell,  PM me.

I couldn't find a STL or similar at any of the 3D printing sites. If someone knows of one let me know.

I have never seen, but have heard that the 70-73 repop vents are nice.....................but expensive.  I might have a decent clean USED one, need to know which side............PM if interested.

Looks like about $240-250 for the repops. I actually found both sides of mine while looking, which other than being painted black, look great so don't need these.

I looked at it closely and the part has a slight curve to it and the back piece which bolts on so these would be a bit annoying to print. Even if someone repops an ok copy I can't imagine it being less than a $100 and non-chromed. Probably be easier all around to do a silicone cast and resin. The size and flatness would make these a little more difficult than some things and a bit costly for the mold but not unreasonable.
