So if I give them a VIN to a 2010 Evo MR Graphite Gray It will show up in his computer with paint matched outlet vents? or does it have to have a certain package?

Re-read my post.. I also put down the part number exactly as it was listed on the vent in your pic. If you're looking for the match, just change the last 5 to a 6.

I brought in the part when I went to the dealer. He typed it in and got nothing.

The ZZ is what through him off .

Maybe they stopped producing that part for that year. Can someone please check the part number under there vent outlet that drive a 2012 or 2011 MR with paint matching vents.

IMO.. just paint them flat black. It looks better. I will also replace all of the chrome trims on the car.. just my 2cents.

I am rebuilding a EVO. I only have 1 vent. The dealer wanted $240 for each vent so I found a OEM one on ebay for cheap.

I need the matching RIGHT VENT ! This is such a dumb problem to have !!!!!

I'm 99% sure that you have a phantom black vent and it's not graphite grey. PB has brown flakes it in!

^^ I agree. It does look more like PB.

^^ I agree. Why'd you only buy 1 vent in the 1st place?? $240 each at the dealership was too much, but for $270, you just could've bought both from RussellM at Mitsubishiparts.net

At this point you're probably better off finding another used one, and then just paint them both yourself.

They only had the left posted. Buying one for $20.00 is worth it if I can find the matching other one. They have the vents for sale for $135 on one of the mitsubishi dealers sites. I just don't know the color! A VIN # would end this all. Someone has to have a Evo MR with these vents on it.
