First off, since you are new, welcome to TRF.

Brown coloured vents are hard to find. Not impossible, but hard. Most cabbys were produced with black dashes, but I have seen brown. The centre vents came in a/c cars, which tend to be more plentiful in the southern US.

I know I haven't been too helpful here, but I hope it is some help to you.

Find a set of black ones, they are common, then carefully disassemble one Find a color of fusion plastic pain and paint to match, this is what I had to do to a set of map pockets, to get them to match.

If you look at my how to's for floppy vents, then you can see how to take them apart.
