I have seen some silver frosted vents on a BB here before. Sorta trendy, we'll see how long bling vents last on cars.

05rex8: i think is what makes yours look better than those posted up higher is that it matches your car but still has that bit of black to it with the 3 vents within the fender vent.. me likey

Looks good. I think it flows along with your car quite well.

I think it will look funny and cheap because the vents will still be there. Do it and post some pics!

Thats how I felt about having the OEM vents (matte black) on the BB car... so I painted my silver... tried to match the wheels. I can see how it can be "too blingy" for some though...
