The supply of stock A/C vents dried up years ago.   About the only place to 
get them is from a wrecked car, I think.   The GT5 vents (which are 
completely different in size/shape) are available, but really wouldn't work with a 
stock dash unless you completely recovered the front of the dash with a 
piece of metal or wood.

FWIW the actual moving part of the A/C vents is the same between the early- 
and late-style interiors, but the housings are completely different.   The 
early interiors use a sheetmetal surround, upholstered in vinyl, while the 
late interiors use a plastic surround.
