You make a good point, but with my wheels being black, tint and all, I think it will match the car better.

I like the silver louvers....

But... I don't think they match too well on your car as it sits now.

If you were too keep them, I'd suggest painting your "CAMARO" grille text and your "Tuned Port Injection" badge on your rear bumper silver to match and accent the louvers.

Your car has the silver "IROC-Z" decals, which is cool... that matches with the silver louvers... do all of that and I think you're car would look really kick ***.

Otherwise, just paint em black... can't go wrong with that.

A deeper shade of red might look good. Don't like silver. If you really want to spend some extra time, how about deeper red on the front facing edge, and black/charcoal on the trailing edge?

Who said he put quality into it ? Maybe he oversprayed, then made designs with the overspray, he could now have a huge X on his hood now! to match those rearview mirrors anyways

I'd go with Black as well. It would match everything else.

But if you want more idea's, how about stripe(s)?

Or if you have the money to dish out, why not check out Ghost Stripes? Would look sweet at night passing the street lights. Would turn alot of heads too.
