The driver side fender vent on my 7 had a disagreement with my rear wheel after hitting something in the road, and my rear wheel won. I bought a new vent to replace it, but the only one I could get was black. I am debating leaving it black and painting the other side to match, or just to paint this one red and have it look stock.

Here are a few shots with the black vent in place. Please ignore the dirt. It recently snowed here so there is ice and dirt all over it. We are under serious water restrictions right now so I can't wash my baby!!

What do you think?

 

Not another "what color should I use" thread?

 

It looks like you broke something, replaced it with a part off a different colored car, and was too cheap to paint it.

Honestly, it'd look 100% better in body color, IMO... The only way it'd work would be if you had other black accents on the body.

 

Agreed.

I'd get it painted, just leave the grill black, it looks like **** when it gets sprayed red as well. Well, perhaps not quite like ****, but it's a nice accent to have the black grill hidden away there.
