Are you talking vents that function or just for looks?
Lund makes some stick on vents. But I am sure you wouldn't want to use them.

There aren't many (if at all) modern oem manufacturer vents that one could adapt for C5/Z06 use. I can't think of any after market vents, either, with the exception of the after market hoods with integral vents/scoops.Maybe a good DIY project to figure out something in 'glass or fabricated metal that could be adapted?

If you haven't see Lund hood scoops the ones I have seen stick on the hood with dbl sided tape and look like doo.

I am sure if you are a body/Glassman one could mold them on and look good.

I just did a quick internet search and found the typical double sided tape or bolt on JC WHITNEY and LUND offerings.
I did find one write up by an owner who decided to DIY on his import...

on the rear 1/3 or so of the hood to allow hot air to exit the
engine compartment.
Like all of you I saw the cheeseball stuff, but it doesn't even
look good on a Yugo, so it won't be on my coupe.

These sites do show other styles, but I can't imagine their suitability for a C5.
