S4 Center Vents in an S5

Is this possible or should I find new vents? I just put in an S5 center trim since my S4 was cracking and falling apart. Any help is appreciated.

The S4 vents require the whole center trim which is like a hard plastic compared to the S5 textured rubber feel.. Just have to suck it up and hold out for some S5 vents online or something...

I bought a mint s5 vent from someone on here years ago, and it cracked a few pieces during shipping.. never got it settled.. =(

true- the s4 vents also have a smaller trim piece that goes around the climate controls and the s5s are just the vents straight across

True, I don't even think you could rig them to work, the S5 vents are more rounded and not as tall.

Confirmed, s4 vents must match s4 radio surround. Likewise with s5, the vents must match the radio surround.

So if I have a S5 surround with the S5 vents, can I put them in my S4 7?
