You can put the '03/'04 vents on as they are the same overall size. These have a larger open area and the vents ribs are not recessed. I changed my '02 vents to '03 with no problem. Try some of the dismantlers like the one in Los Angeles and I think there is one in Fla.

Here is a pic with the hardware cloth screen I added to keep out debris as I also de snorked it.

Side Vents were redesigned for 2003 models for increased airflow & contributed to HP gain for that year.
