I don't recall seeing the black swoosh (from the top of the vent) as an OEM option.

Gives the cut/angle a bit more definition, IMHO.

It's a sticker you apply. It gives the cutout a drop shadow effect. I really hate stickers on my car but I think I like this MOD.

I like it and I personally think that it would look even better = stand out more if you would remove the chrome stingray. It kinda clashes with the black vent/hood stripe/wheels look

I have the same piece. Got mine from Vette Stripes, and they look terrific.
