Question Idea Need Opinions

so im going to get vents for my car soon and was wondering wat you guys thought if i painted them like this (its photoshopped by the way and this is not my car. i just made it look like mine):



my car has a grey/orange theme (my car really looks like this right now. But, i want it to look like the photoshopped version above):

If that is what you want go for it! Not really for me, but I like to keep a pretty low profile and clean look. Those vents are pretty sick tho.

Just a heads up on these vents since I have them already on the hood. They are literally glued in...once they are painted and in they are not coming out....I have talked to several painters about doing some custom jobs on repaint with each stating difficult to have proper lines since unable to remove hood vents. Just be sure of your paint job prior to final installation. The other thing....be sure vents lay flush and are glued in properly. The first set I had we're not and created issues getting second set in properly. Luckily the shop covered the second set otherwise would have been out $$$...

IMO if had to do over again would look into a hood option with vents already molded in. I am used to mine, but they do look more aftermarket than expected.

Gotcha....I had those to at one time and finally switched over to the ZL1 front end. I ended up missing my fogs even though having the 3 pod lights. FYI pray one of those pods lights doesn't go out on you if getting. PITA to change out. Entire bumper has to come off. Those are glued in as well.
