Default OEM side vent

I picked up a 98 c5 about a month ago and was curious about the side vents. I am thinking these aren't oem but I cant seem to find pictures on google. Only pics of c6/c7 or aftermarket c5 vents come up.

Can someone post a picture of an original c5 side vent? Thanks

OEM side vents have no grill cover. They are just open.

How do the vents attach?
One of mine fell down inside but I have'nt opened it up to look yet
I can see it down in the bottom but can't get to it

They attach with double sided tap inside the fender opening. When you reattach them, be sure to thoroughly clean the surface inside the fender so the tape has a clean surface to adhere to.
