Default 80 Fender Grills

Is anybody aware of any suppliers of aftermarket fender grills for a 1980 ??. I am currently having my 80 resprayed and would like to replace the plastic fender grills with something more classy, in chrome or stainless steel perhaps. I have checked both Ecklers and Mid Am and both only supply direct replacement plastic ones. I'm sure I can fabricate some myself out of stainless steel, but if anybody has an alteranative suggestion/ supplier I would be most grateful.

Cheers
