Getting rid of the only cheap looking plastic vents on the car. ( the lower rear ones ).

Ordered these from RPI in carbon flash. Can't wait to put them in!

Is there a visual difference that's noticeable?

ssidekickbp

Yes, for some reason GM painted all vents except these. They are the only vents that are a flat matte dull black plastic. I personally don't think they look that great so I wanted them to match all the rest and the rear diffuser.

Never noticed this. Here's hoping I don't walk out to my car & this bother me.

There must be something wrong with me. I never crawled down there to see what the actual make-up of my lower rear vents. I appreciate the the heads up. As soon as I get back from my vacation I am going to fix that problem.

Post up the pics when you get them installed. They should look great on the car.

Never noticed it. Since the front end is about a foot off the ground.

Hey, what about the cheap looking plastic unpainted tail light vent grilles

ssidekickbp

Shhhhhh!!! only the inside of those are unpainted..... Again, I don't understand why....

ssidekickbp

These are for the rear.

What about those cheap black screws and washers that hold the panels on? Now those are really bad!

ssidekickbp

If you guys don't understand what I meant that's fine, it's in no way meant to bash the C7.

I'm simply stating I think they should have painted these like the rest.

I'll post pics of them installed when done

You have a right to your opinion and choice of mod. However you found something that almost no one noticed and could care less about. Then you call the original ones cheap, you have just answered the question that no body asked. In my opinion it is nit picky. I go back to what I always say. It is your car and your money and you have the right to do what you want to make it your own.

They look great as they are all carbon flash painted as are all vents on my 2015 Z
not seeing any up grade here.

Why not just paint them yourself if they really bother you that much?

Never-Enough

Paint them yourself.

Tough crowd. OP just pointed out something that none of us noticed. Cred for that. They don't bother me as-is, but it's still good to know.

How about a side by side comparison pic? OEM and RPI.
