Go to your local heating and air conditioning guys shop, and show him what you want! Those guys have all sorts of sheet metal, from stainless, alum, to copper if you wanted it. The just have them throw it in their brake and bend it up to match the shape of the factory one. Those guys make more complicated stuff in their sleep!!

you have to make one yourself! it's called customizing. Dont be afraid.....Go to home depot by a pc of sheet aluminum some snips and a dremel. that is all you need. To bend said sheet metal sandwich it between two 2x4's shut the garage door down on it use another pc of lumber vise gripped or clamped to the exposed edge and bend.

stuff like this will get you alot further along on any customizing project than you think.
