I see that you are having a hard time keeping up here.

Black delete caps look fine in a shale interior. That is how my car is - you don't ever notice it. You could, alternatively, paint them with colorbond so they would match.

The black delete caps look 100% stock on the black windshield surround. And at 6'3 tall the extra visibility is great once the visors are removed. Your suggestion to paint to color match for the shale interior is exactly the route I'd take if I had a shale interior and couldn't live with the black plugs. But odds are good I wouldn't mind the black as they are pretty innocuous once installed.

A DIY creativity for about $25 all in and the results will be 100% better than low quality black China knockoff visors in any interior color. (Not like the factory installed visors were any good to begin with). But especially black visors in a shale interior.

I feel having nothing in the hole looks as good as black.

Yeah, they blend perfectly. That's exactly why the original designers chose to make them black in the shale interior.
