Also, most likely rock or gravel damage. Did you drive over any gravel roads prior to noticing this damage? You might consider adding front mud-guards to the front wheel wells to eliminate the possibility of stone/rock damage to the replacement inserts.

Look at how this cheap chinese junk attaches with double-sided tape. These are nothing like the originals that attach with detent nubs located on the extended inserts. You can see the difference by comparing the vents that are referenced in the link I provided from @JABCAT and the detailed pictures provided by the junk on your Amazon link. So to answer your question, yes there is a difference in quality.
You might still want to go with the cheap items as they are appearance pieces, but may not withstand the elements.

That’s because they’re not easy to find. The ones I found are in ‘silver carbon’, which in my opinion might look ok on a silver car. I couldn’t find any black ones. And they are listed for Z06 fitment. You need to scroll down in the page because the parts diagram doesn’t have links.

I saw these in the for sale section. They have mesh in the inserts. Not sure if this would work for you.
