Wheel vents-replacements

Looking to add something to my phantom Blk X. I like the way the blue/white/red cars look with the black vents, gives it some nice detail.
I would like to change out the wheel vents and perhaps the hood vents as well to something with a little color, but nothing over the top(ricey).

Any suggestions,pictures, or links would be appreciated!
Pros/cons to doing this as well.
Thanks.

You have a black MR so your vents are body colored. I would either get the flat black vents the GSR comes with, or all the vents in carbon fiber. Different colored vents on a black car would look funny.

I don't think there's much you can do without it being over the top since you have a black car.

I saw the carbon fiber ones, Have you seen (picture) of them on a car? I can't find one.
i agree any color (red-white-ect..) would look crapy.
Chrome would look cheap,

You can try other shades of black. Maybe that'll make it look different without having to look out of place.

Pop em out and spray them with plasti-dip to see how you like a more "plastic" look....if not, it peels right off.

Get them Graphite Gray to gunmetal in color ie: make them look like they're made out of metal like on the GT-R's and some higher end cars. In my mind, it would looke pretty sweet on a black car if you don't want the CF route. If I had a black MR, I'd start blacking out the crome before coloring the vents though.
