WW X MR with GSR Vents

So I love how my WW Evo X MR looked, except for those unsightly color matched panels. I got my black panels in today from and I installed the bonnet vents when I got home from work. The fender fents will be installed over labor day weekend as it requires more work.

The vents came off easily with just 4 bolts holding it on. There is no epoxy or anything like that.

The fenders will require taking off the front wheels and inner fender wells.

What do you guys think?

why didn't you just pull the ones you had off and paint them?

I dont really have those resources available to me. I like how they look in black plastic. I still have my white ones, I could always paint them when I get an opportunity, but I wanted these swapped out immediately.. The only thing I really liked about the WW is the contrast with the black panels.\

Edit: Well not the ONLY thing, but the main thing...

I have the vents already. I got them all at the same time. It was just so easy to install the hood vents that I was able to get it done w/ just a wrench. The fender vents are much more work. Thats why its gonna have to wait till labor day weekend.

And the alternative? To drill my bumper? I dont think so. I'll stick with plate mounted in the middle.

Or are you talking about the plate mounted on the bottom of the vents? in that case, i was thinking about it...

lol you don't have the resources available? what resources? all you need is some sandpaper, a can of krylon, and about 20 minutes.

but anyway, back on topic, the black does look a lot better than the color matched stuff. nice car.
