Evolution X Hood Vent HELP !

This vent came off a 2010 Evolution x MR
Got it off ebay and I do not have the vin number off the car.
I only have the Left Vent and I am looking for the matching Right vent. --- Rebuilding a Totaled Evo ---
The dealer was useless and couldn't help me. The floor model evos all had Flat black hood vents.

If some one could check the part number under the vent with a 2011 or 2012 MR with Paint matching vents I would really appreciate it.

What color is this Vent. Black or Gray

Pictures of the vent:

As far as I know they are all black. Some people replace them with the carbon fiber ones.

The OEM vents are all the same on all models. It looks like someone painted the one vent.

This vent has not been modified or painted its OEM. OEM website offers Black and Gray. But no photos :/ Can some one please post a picture of there vents. I don't feel like wasting $140 on a vent . Dealer wanted $240.00 Outch!

Remember this is off a 2010 Evolution x MR

The newer models are flat black.

There GG vents from a MR. You can see the metallic flake in them. All GSR's come with black vents. And all MR's up to 2011 came with color matched vents. Its a option on the 2012 MR's

Evo X GSR black hood vents (left & right)..

5903A005HD & 5903A006HD

ETA: And in the pic you posted, the number is 5903A005ZZ (so I'm guessing the other part would be 5903A006ZZ ..not sure if that is color-specific, or just unpainted)

Correct. I have a 2010 MR touring and the hood vents are paint matched to my apex silver. I was at a dealership today abd they had a black 2011 mr with matching black with same metallic flake matched hood vents.

These are not correct. Those are the flat black ones
