I'm configuring my order for a Stingray Z51 HTC in Arctic White right now and am trying to decide whether to check the Body-color exterior accents or not...
There are four parts of the car effected by this:
Front and rear grille accents
Side vents
Also includes tonneau vent on Convertible model
The only part I want body color is the side vents, too much contrast on the side of the car. So, if I don't get the option I'd want to take my side vents off and have them painted. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to remove/replace them?
Thanks!

the RPI boomerang covers painted in OEM paint are excellent. I just installed them last week and you can’t tell the difference between that and the OEM option. 10 min install: they are 3M peel and stick.The covers are a very thin ABS flexible plastic that fits perfectly, no undercoat body color shows at all whatsoever and they are thin enough that you can’t tell that they’re added on. Here’s mine… note it takes about 4-6 weeks for them to do this option in their paint shop.

Those don't seem to match your body color. Close, but the difference would drive me nuts.What's the scuff on your rocker?
@Glen_e Wow, these can be ordered as pre-painted parts, and you're indicating that they just stick on top of the black trim? Or can they be ordered as the full replacement parts where the black ones are moved and replaced with the painted parts?
My plan was to remove my black pieces and wrap them in some gloss white to see if they match, other's on the forum here have indicated that Avery Gloss White is a match. If I'm not happy with that then I'd just remove the vinyl and have a body shop paint them with OEM Arctic White.
