Just make your own, it isnt hard just time consuming if you do not have the best equipment.... a drill, tin snips and files should get you on your way...

I bought a 4 hole early Chevelle one that was supposed to work, but it didn't. The holes on the support don't line up with the factory Camaro hole spacing and the Chevelle one is too wide and requires trimming on the sides, which wouldn't look good. I ended up making my own last week since I couldn't find one already made and because I have an aftermarket larger radiator and fans.
I bought a sheet of stainless, I bought some Kett shears and a cheap break. I made some measurements, cut the piece, trimmed the areas where needed, bent it up and drilled the holes. This was the first time I've played with sheetmetal, so I really too my time with it. I believe it took me approximately 4 hours total between 2 days to design how I wanted it and to fabricate and install it. I should take some pics soon....it's pretty easy.
The link posted above doesn't make it clear if that's for a 3rd gen F-body or what. If it was $40 would be a decent deal.

I saw a bunch of pics of C5 Vettes on the page, so I wasn't sure what cars these parts were for.....man I wish I knew about this....looks like great work and good prices too. I'll have to keep checking back to see what new products they offer.
