Hood vents color?
I'm finally getting around to installing my pre-facelift hood with vents, thanks to W204Man.

I'm debating on what to do with the hood scoops for color. Same as the body or black? My car is Mars Red.

Should I just wrap the color (black or bronze)? In case I change my mind?

I have always wrapped first to see what it looks like before committing 100%

I can't wrap anything since it'll be freshly painted. Gotta wait 30 days. Or I can have it painted the selected color now.

No body color. And I would say not black either. We have black.

I would most definitely do something different. Bronze sounds like it would be really interesting. Or throw a different accent all together.

Black for the contrast and then if you don't like it you can always wrap it a different color to experiment

Black wrap. Too bad someone couldn't make the vents CF.

I'd say matte black bro! It'll look sick...nice contrast compared to the gloss red that'll surround it
