For all intents and purposes, No, the Z51 boomerangs look no different than a Non-Z51 C8. There is some stuff going on behind the scenes as noted above. Beyond that the front splitter / spoiler and the rear "Z51 spoiler" are the only cosmetic differences between the Z51 and "base" Non-Z51 car.

It's on the passenger side. The extra radiator was the single item that encouraged me to add the Z51. Being in Arizona I wanted the extra cooling. After having the car for 9 months now the engine temperature has never gone over 191.

The OP asked about the vents so I answered him. He didn't ask for a laundry list of every feature different between the Z51 package and the base Corvette (which I'm well aware of), but now he has it.
