I imagine it'd look alright but think they'd look much better painted black. Red with black accents looks killer IMO.

Depends. What kind of theme do you have going on or have planned for the rest of your car? Show car (gloss black) or daily driver (flat black). Race car (flat black) or luxury sports car (gloss black). Etcetera.

Seriously – I haven’t seen/noticed them black I’m anxious to see some. Someone post some pics of that combo. Here’s my plain stainless look of the rear fascia & side vent screens.
