Default WTB Replacement Brake Cooling Scoop for Carrera

Well, going over the gators can have consequences...left my scoop for my brake cooling kit on the climbing esses at VIR last year. Replacement is silly cost, and before I get about to fabricating one, I thought I'd try to see if anyone on Dorkiphus had one to sell. I need one with 3" outlet (the reasonably-priced replacements on Pelican have a 2.5" outlet, and I don't want that bottleneck). Anybody able to help with this?

Thanks, Charlie. I did that last year, but mounting it so it didn't stick out too low (my car is very low) was difficult, and it lasted one race before being knocked off. The fiberglass one, which is very low profile, lasted for years although it did get scraped up a bit...

Here's a photo of what I'm looking for (just the black scoop on the bottom):
