Side cove gills?

I saw a black C5 today that had some sort of side cove moulding that gave the appearance of strakes or gills...anybody have any pics of this?

They have 2 screws that attach the front of each of them to a mesh that you install in the vent in the fender and they use tape along the spear edge. They are firmly attached at the end.
