Painted my vents to match console trim

[SSEiMan01]

Whataya think?

Looks much better than OE gray, but the GXP carbon fiber still looks a lil better, lol.

I thought you had the tan interior?

[yourgrandma]

The black looks WAY better than the fake sticky rice CF gxp ones. If you want carbon, get the real thing, not some checkerboard patterned immitation.

sorry Ed. Lol.

[ga93sle]

I like!

Nope. Dark Pewter. Can't say I wouldn't mind a tan (camel) interior though. The Pewter has grown on me though...
Yeah, I would kill for a set of GXP vents and handle bezels, rather, I'd kill for the MONEY for a set of them. It just won't work right now for me. I had the paint left over from everything else I did with it on this car and the Trans-Am, so why not?

[Gumball]

looks good, i like em.

[nos4blood70]

Definitely looks better than the stock ones. It completes the interior black/gray color scheme a lot better!

[repinS]

I like this better than my fake painted-on CF vents.

[harofreak00]

I like this as well, being matte is what does it for me.

Still like the stock GXP vents better though

[SSEiMan01]

Thank You!
Maybe someday when I'm a billionaire I'll get GXPs, I do like them a lot, but until then, this goes with my interior very well. I am satisfied.

[nos4blood70]

I really love the GXP ones but after seeing this I'm sort of on the fence. The GXP ones give it a sporty flair while these make it look classier.

Maybe someday when I'm a billionaire I'll get GXPs.

If I was a billionaire, I ain't driving a Bonneville.

Anyway, looks really nice. I need to do something about my eye-watering fake wood trim in the Saab.

[SSEiMan01]

Funny, if I was a billionaire, I wouldn't change much, just more cars and pay for school and live life like normal otherwise.
Thanks for the compliments!
@Carl, I think either would work in my car, since it has some sporty qualities and some classier touches as well...

Ive been going back and forth for months trying to decide if i wanted to do this to my car or not, and now that I've seen it, I know I'm going to do it. what paint did you use?

PS - love it!

[SSEiMan01]

I actually had to search for it, finally got it at an upholstery shop that did my heated seats...it's called SEM Color Coat. This color is called Landau Black. It cost me about $15 a can.

[wake]

turned out awesome!

I honestly didn't notice them until the pic of the pass side. Looks good. Throw some shine on them and I might prefer those over my GXP's, nevermind, I don't see that happening

Actually, if I put a coat of 303 on there, they do shine nicely! I did on the other pieces but I still want to do another coat on these, it's thin in spots.
I agree on this not being a replacement in my heart for the GXPs but it's a replacement in the wallet for sure! FREE!
I already had the paint lol

[Black Pearl]

Free is the best. I almost did that to my oem pieces. i would like to see them with another coat and clear. You almost need some black button switches for the rheostat and hazards

[SSEiMan01]

I need black buttons for the entire interior! Another thing that makes me wish the pennies I planted last spring would grow into a money tree already!
This is an elastomeric paint, designed to not need clear, so I haven't cleared any of the parts, I intend to do a second coat on these since it is a little thin in some areas, I did this between classes one day and I wanted to drive without switches hanging out of my vent ports. lol
