It looks good to me. As I get older, I'm kinda liking the contrast on OEM cars, even wishing to see tu-tone again. Can't even get it on pickups anymore...

Looks great - do you have the chrome fins on the vents or are they fully painted?

THX everyone

The vents are painted- no chrome clips on them.
