Default Gold Vent Screens ?

Would like to see some pics of someone who has used the gold colored vent screens. Would be nice if they were on a mag red c5. Saw them in a catalog but dont know if there a supporting member of not. I think the gold would be a good color combo with the mag red but you never know until you see it.

I think Gold or Chrome look great on a Silver/Pewter car if done right, Just not too much...
Not sure about a red car.

Don't know about Mag Red, but I did see some subtle gold accents on an AE vert that looked okay. It worked well with the darker red and the magnesium AE wheels. Sorry didn't get any pics.

Hey if this is something your interested in then go for it ,you can always change it, thats the beauty of owning your own vette being unique or you can follow like a sheep and add certain mods that everyone has (same ol same ol)

Gold accents on a mag red car go very well IMO. Not sure how the screens would look (haven't really seen the shade of gold that they are), but if you don't like them, you can always paint/powdercoat them another color.

I'm definitely not a fan of using "gold" on a car, since it's always plated and garbage quality, but I will say that the gold and chrome used in these pics had me change my mind. I'd love a shot of those wheels .

I have a mag red with the factory Magnesium wheels and like how they look with mag red
I thought side vent screens would be a nice accent if painted the same color as the wheels
anyony know if the mag wheel paint can be had in a spray can
Thanks
