Default Painted Rear window Louvers

I just ordered my rear window louvers. What do you all think about painting the louvers body color or leaving them flat black. Does anyone have pictures of thier painted louvers.

I think they would look good both ways, especially since you have a dark color.
There's a torch red one runnin around town here with his rear window louvers painted body color.
If i'm not mistaken he has his stripes running on them too. It doesn't look all that great.

I just ordered those exact louvers. My plan is to get alot of parts and have them painted all at once. Warmer weather is would be nice, NE weather stinks!
