I would say 9 out of 10 people on this board would say take them off. Including myself, most of the time they don't look good. Sorry it wasn't one of the answers you were looking for.

On some cars, louvers on the hatch looks alright. But painted silver, no way. Just my opinion though.

If it were my car, I wouldn't paint the louvers, personally I'd take them off, BUT its your car, do what you want, and if it does turn out, post some pics man!
