West Marine has the white like the standard, also have them with a chrome finish. I replaced the white on the last Fountain with their chrome ones, decent product and not very expensive.

Some of the after-marketers have billet ones polished, anodized and powder coated. Seems Fountain has been using some of the billet ones lately, might call the factory.

I talked to the people at Dana about replacing my side engine vents. If you have the same ones I do, they suggested going with the billett ones and then they pre treat them before powdercoating, so the aluminum under the powder coating does not corrode when running in salt water. Quoted me about 60-70 bucks each or 10 bucks more than the regular price of the vent. Fountain does not use this treatment because it is only effective for salt water and adds some cost, go figure. I am going to buy 6 new ones, I just need to make sure I don't need any of the plastic boxes that attach to the back of the vents.
