My car... Hood vent colors?? Black or white?

So as we all know. Grabber Blue Car, white stripes.

So my hood vents.. I could leave them stock. I could make them black, or I would be different and make them white. What would you do?

Ahhh I say stay blue. Maybe the inside of the vents - the louvers of the vents would look pretty cool black.

As your car sits i'd leave them as is...if you put a black line on the outside of your white stripes then i'd go black

After seeing the photoshopped pics, the black doesn't look too bad. I say leave them Grabber Blue, but if you must change them,..black gets my vote.

I think white just might be to much here. Satin or flat black would actually look real good in this situation.

I think they look good as they are. If you're itching for a change, buy a second set and have them painted white or black. I doubt it's very difficult to change them out. The extractor on the Shelby isn't at all difficult to remove. Probably no more than 5 minutes to change them, then you can have the best of both (or all three) worlds.

I'd say satin (not flat) black to tie in with the top.

Diva, you should've put up a poll ... lol

I'd kinda leave them blue too, but if you HAD to make them white or black, I think I'd lean toward white ... they're heat-extracting vents, black attracts heat, white doesn't (as much), and I think having them black adds another color in the middle of the hood making things too "cluttered"


Quick Reply: My car... Hood vent colors?? Black or white?
