Matte black to match your theme homeboy for sure. Just wrap them if you aren't sure. If you are, paint them matte black.

I definitely think the side needs something, since the rest of the car has a lot of black/white contrast.

I would like to see some kind of gradient graphic in both of the "vents", or in the back one at least. Kind of like the SLP "fade to black" gill inserts but a single piece for the vents, or in the indentation of the side skirts.

A painter can air brush it on there too Im sure, just think clear vinyl with the faded black gradient would be a lot easier and cheaper to try out.

Yea i havent decided what Im going to do yet I actually have black mesh grilles that are going in that match my front lower bumper grille, I was thinking about a fade but its really hard to fade Flat or matte colors which is the whole theme of the car and i really like the carbon fiber mirrors but it doesnt tie into the car at all so I tried to stray away from it
