Default Has anyone had their exterior vents painted to match body color?

Since the EFY body color vents never seem to be available, I wondered if anyone has had their exterior vents painted to match body color and if so, how much did it cost? If so, did you take it to a body shop or do it yourself? Any pictures? How difficult are the vents to remove? I have searched the forums and don't come up with much, unless I am not using the right search terms. Still planning ahead. Thanks--Bob

Just a point of information: Body Colored vents (EFY) have no restriction on 2016's. I ordered them on my white C7 to be delivered around the beginning of Oct. Will post pics then.

I have body color vents on my 2016. Here area few pics taken by Mike Furman at my delivery. IMHO well worth the $995 cost to have it done at the factory.

Very nice. I think the black vents look great against some colors, but really like the body color vents on your blue one.

I like that the "mesh" is still black.
