Default Rear quarter panel vent color

I am going to install the Z06 vents on my Z51 shortly. I keep flip-flopping on using the body color, Laguna Blue or the carbon flash/ black, units. I like the LB as they blend into the rest of the body and look more custom/special. The CF 'gently' stands out and looks more original.
My family members are no help. So what is your opinion, body color or carbon flash/black?

I ordered my car with body color vents so you can guess which one I like. It's your decision. Don't seek guidance from others. Do what you like best.

Can you post a picture of the rear quarter panel of your car?

If all the other trim is black, I would go with black just to stay consistent.

I haven't seen LB body color vents but have seen some others, notably white several times, and these do look good, but you're looking at a lot of effort and expense to change over everything, so . . . black.

I like the black accents on the car, I think they look sharp.

Body color. It looks like it was part of the original design and not tacked on as an afterthought. But that's my choice. If you have black wheels, black badge kit, and a black interior, then you may need to just go black. But if you are creative and have some color sense, knock yourself out and do what looks good to you. Pat
