I'd paint them to match the color of your car. It sits out of place IMO

Yeah, The more I look at them, they do look a little out of place. If you still want some black in there then paint the outside silver and leave the middle black….. Oh yeah and nice avatar :icon_chee :thumbsup:

Ever think about painting the exterior parts of the scoop silver, then leaving the inside scoops black? I think that will flow well with the black theme but not look out of place.

Paint them, personally I hate the look of mismatched colors on various parts of the car.
