Default Where to buy ac vent *blades*

So I was redoing my double din, took out my old one replace with a newer model and when I took off the vent where the hazard button located, the right side vent plastic piece broke off. It's still good but the two little plastic part that have holes in it where the blade insert to, one side is broken and can't find the piece that broke. Just wondering anyone know where I can get a replacement? The whole vent on right side or just the plastic piece that hold the blades. It's a 98 ls400 btw, I've tried junk yard and did not find any there

I remember someone on one of the forums fabricated that part from a sheet of black plastic using something like an exacto knife. Use the good one as a template and to show where to drill the holes in the one you make.

Per Billyd's advice, stick a small blade screw driver through the vent slats to pull the side clips inward when removing the center vent assembly. The vent assembly slides out easily when this is done.
