Default Fountain Engine Vents

On my old scowl, the plastic engine vents have proved to be impossible to replace with billet- have tried the Dana Marine, which are the cat's pajamas finish wise, esp. with the engraved Fountain logo in the center -and because of the stripe on my boat they are not quite tall enough. I have seen some "taller" vents out there on boats and was simply wandering if anyone had a resource beyond Dana for that application. As an example:

I don't like plastic vents .....

I am dealing with the exact same thing. I even looked at that same boat for comparison. Now I am having some cut out of 1/4" aluminum with a waterjet. I'm going to polish them and clear coat em.
