Brill Steel BRZ Hood Louvers?

These are the only hood louvers I've seen so far that look good on our cars IMO. Anyone have any idea where I can find these or are they custom? Video below:

These look to just be generic louvers bolted underneath the hood cutouts

I've seen the trackspec ones but I've never seen a set that looks as natural as the ones from brill steel. Here's another video that shows the underside at 0:56. They're probably either custom or not BRZ specific louvers. Maybe designed for another car application. Was hoping someone may recognize the shape.

Thats what high quality custom work does. Makes it look like it belongs there. Also makes it really difficult to identify the original component until someone gets a nugget of inside info on the build.
