I have to go with the GS double gills although I like the ZR-1 fenders alot. This thread should be interesting to follow.

IMO, it's hard to separate the look of the fender vents from their designated models.
Each doesn't quite look as good on the "other" models...

That statement makes no sense.
The side view of the fender vent is what visually 'separates', more like denotes the other models.

, but only on the 1st 2.
The GS should be after the coupe.
The gill look doesn't look apealling or 'clean' as the ZR1 & more notibly, coupe & ZO6, which has the larger opening the ZO6.
Did that make sense?

...
that's what I meant, but you stated it more clearly. I don't think one model's specific fender vent
would look better on a different model (ex: GS vent doesn't look good on the ZR1, etc).

hard (for me) to pick a favorite without considering which car are we talking about...
