They are all interchangeable although some of them require a little trimming if you have the DBW throttle body.

Here was a custom one I saw at the Auto Fair, not my favorite design but it was definitely smooth. Looks like he took one of the rounded ones, shaved it, then added wings.

Or you can do things to clean up the stock ones, this my one day transformation on my 01, a little filler primer, colormatched paint, and a silver paint pen went a long way. I was rushed, so I am going to redo it soon and smooth the spots where the labels used to be on the radiator cover, chrome coil covers and do a few other things.
bdub lol....that white looks good on that intake tube...i might have to copy that with orange...ya i said bdub
