I assume that you are talking about the "gills" just in front of the lower part of the doors. If so, they aren't brake vents. They are actually intended to vent heat from under the hood. I don't know of any aftermarket panels with 4 or 5 louvers.
There is someone here on CF that has some 4 louvered gill panels but,
I believe those were custom made.
