Side vent covers? I'd like to see close up pic. Might look better painted black to match tops and window trim.

Your car looks great! The 'bright' rocker panels look good with those wheels....but they need the satin black stripe painted in the recessed area for the screws (and screw heads need to match). The 'bright' fender vents? Ehhh... Maybe you can throw a little satin black in some areas of those, too. They just 'stick out like a sore thumb', IMO.
The car still looks great, as is. But, you asked....

Girls POV, the side vents should be painted black. The car looks beautiful though!

I like the rocker panels, but the vent trim draws your eye away from the lines of the car.
