Thanks, 'sled.
Using a search word I hadn't considered ("vent") it looks like you're correct, and I've confirmed there is a minor difference, side to side on my car. But this does not account for the difference I'm describing.

Searching some more, it appears that there have been a couple of different designs over the years. It appears that on the early cars (maybe up to '01?) The "vanes" were separate from the insert, and were set - back much deeper than on the later cars, where the vanes are part of the insert. I'd love it if this were confirmed by someone who knows more?

I'd also like to know if the early inserts will fit the later cars? I quite like the look of having just a hole in the side.... (of course I'd add mesh, or something)
