MRT louver color question

I ordered a set as was thinking of paining them Red Jewel Tint to match the body. I was thinking that if I left them black it would there would be too many colors since I have gray Foose wheels with my GFX painted to gloss gray to match the wheels. What do you think?

Thought of that but because of the distance between parts it may not tie in.

I think if it's matte black then it should tie in fine. Your grey looks more dark than a brighter gunmetal (lol) so I think you could get away with it. If not, color match like you did before, I don't see the space being an issue!

I'm on the fence about purchasing the louvers for my car. I know a lot of people don't care for them but I had them on my 3rd Gen and always liked them. The ones I've seen on the 5th gens is what is putting me in the market for these. Please post some pics once you get them. Thanks

I think the GFX should be red and the louvers black.
