It's funny when I bought the car I really assumed that the white vent was a must but the more I got used to the CF vent the more I liked it not I'm not sure this said I do like the fact that it is more like the factory ordered model which was the plan.

More power to you David. Not sure I am willing to subject my very original choices to this bunch.

It is what it is! We all made mistakes
BTW I was expecting removing the vent tobe a major PITA but it seems the when they removed the vent to install the hood stripe they didn't do a great job reinstalling it so it was very easy to remove! I don't think it took more the 15 minutes bad back and all.

I actually like the complete color combo on your car a lot. I think the white vent extends the stripe a little bit and looks fine. Over all; great looking GS

I like your red, white and blue scheme. The CF added nothing and might have been one too many colors.

IMO it looks much better with a painted vent. Really ties in with the stripe.

Nope.
Stripes look OK since part of original GS color scheme, but vents look better black.

LOL the white vent is part of the original GS color scheme if I ordered from the factory it would look the was it days now.

This is a factory model

Your opinion, your choice but I think it works with your body color. Mine came matched to the stinger so it never occurred to me do anything but black out the halo and grill braces.
